I can call the function on the terminal widget as well as the CLI version, see attached screenshots. I altered the function a little bit, so it prints its own path.

With your workaround I can call the function via the editor widget, too.

This report describes the same issue as bug #34731 which in turn is closed and marked as a duplicate of bug #31080.

Lutz, could you please double check if it is really possible to run the file from the command line?

This really seems to be related to the root directory. Calling the function from the terminal window fails for me, too. A workaround is using


addpath ('c:\\.')


for adding the root directory to the search path. After that, calling the function works as expected.

I can not reproduce this on my linux system and will test this on windows this evening. Is it just by accident or might the issue be related to the root directory 'C:' where your testfun.m is located. Can you add 'C:/' to the path?

This also affects all the debug functions, for example via adding a breakpoint.

See attached screenshot, this only affects the editor widget. If I run


>> testfun(1)


from the command line/terminal widget everything works just fine (in GUI and also with the CLI). I don't know if this affects other OS, too, so I marked the bug report as specific to Windows.
