Matlab Projects - Getting dependancies working right

I've created a matlab project called 'GenericFunctions'. The code has been pushed to our on site VSTS instance.

Now, I have another project, called 'ILSOP' which wants to reference a function, in the 'GenericFunctions' toolbox / project.

My idea on how this would work.

1. Add the 'GenericFunctions' project as a submodule of the ILSOP project
2. Add the 'GenericFunctinos' submodule .prj file, as a declared dependancy of the ILSOP project.
3. Run dependancy analysis, and all would be well.

In fact, this doesn't work - the function I want to reference, which is called w_cell, and is included in the 'GenericFunctions' toolbox, is proclaimed a missing dependancy, despite it being a reference of a project, which is a submodule of this one.

Any guidance here on how dependancy resolution in projects is supposed to work?

Note that I'm also struggling with the docs;

https://ch.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/extract-a-folder-to-create-a-referenced-project.html

And the link at the bottom for the airframe project

matlab:showdemo('sldemo_slproject_airframe_references')

does not appear to work on my installation of matlab 2019a.

Ah - looks like that project is a simulink project...

Hi @Simon Parten,

I am able to reference a function from another project using the steps you have mentioned with some changes. Please find below the exact workflow:

1. Open 'ILSOP' project
2. Add a relative/absolute reference to 'GenericFunctions' project
3. Run dependency analysis, and the missing dependency is resolved.

If you still get 'w_cell is not found in the current folder or on the MATLAB path, but exists in: //path/to/GenericFunctions', I recommend using below function to refresh cache:

rehash toolboxcache

Once done, remove the reference to project and again add it.

I hope this helps resolve the issue.
