addPath does not take a vector from genpath

Hi.

Im trying to create a Project with the help of a scripts/funktions. The creation works fine, just my code for adding the folders in the Root don't work.

I have the this funktion

function [] = ProjektFolderAdd(folder)
    addFolderIncludingChildFiles(currentProject,folder);
    addPath(currentProject,genpath(fullfile(pwd,folder)));
end

And i call it like this from a batch file

mkdir Code_Generation
mkdir Simulations_Cachs
mkdir Parameter
mkdir Models
mkdir Models\First_Refrenz_Model
mkdir Models\Second_Refrenz_Model
mkdir Models\General_Purpose_Subsystem

matlab.exe -r "cd C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\code_versuche\Repo_batch\teset2\,
        run ('ProjektSetup()'),ProjektFolderAdd('Code_Generation'), exit"

"cd" and "run ('ProjektSetup()')" works, just not the "ProjektFolderAdd('Models')" part.

Models is a folder in the Root of the Projekt and has 3 subfolders.

No folder in the whole path has a space in it and when i pass

addpath(genpath(fullfile(pwd,folder)));

like this it works but will not be a part of the Project.

Error using matlab.project.Project/addPath
The file or folder
"C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\code_versuche\Repo_batch\teset2\Models;C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\code_versuche\Repo_batch\teset2\Models\First_Refrenz_Model;C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\code_versuche\Repo_batch\teset2\Models\General_Purpose_Subsystem;C:\Users\Asus\Desktop\code_versuche\Repo_batch\teset2\Models\Second_Refrenz_Model;"
does not exist.

Error in ProjektFolderAdd (line 5)
addPath(currentProject,genpath(fullfile(pwd,folder)));

Am I missunderstanding how addPath and addpath works or is the vektor from genpath diffrent from what i need?

According to the documentation https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.project.project.addpath.html addPath() takes one folder as input, not the output of genpath.

[Walter Roberson]

genpath is for creating MATLAB path entries, and is used with addpath -- notice the lower-case 'p' . That is a different function than addPath that is for working with projects.

@Walter Roberson: Exactly. While addpath() accepts the output of genpath(), addPath() does not.
