I am trying to run the following code in R2016a
import matlab.unittest.qualifications.Assertable;
assertTrue(true, 'wrong');
But am getting this error.
Undefined function or variable 'assertTrue'.
I did not notice any changes in assertTrue of Matlab 2016a.
I also tried unsuccessfully the import of matlab.unittest.qualifications.*.
I also tried unsuccessfully testcase.assertTrue(true, 'wrong');.
How can you I use assertTrue in Matlab?
assertTrue is not a vanilla MATLAB function, it is a method of matlab.unittest.TestCase.
Notice in the documentation, that the first input (assertable) is a matlab.unittest.TestCase instance.
It is used like this in a class-based unit test
classdef test < matlab.unittest.TestCase
methods (Test)
function doTest(testCase)
testCase.assertTrue(true);
% or
assertTrue(testCase, true);
end
end
end
and this in a function-based unit test
function testFunctionOne(testCase)
testCase.assertTrue(true)
assertTrue(testCase, true)
end
If you don't want unit tests but simply want to assert that something is true, then use assert.
value = false;
assert(value, 'These aren''t the droids you''re looking for.')

I want to find the Minimum of a function using
[x,fval] = fminsearch(#(param) esm6(param,identi),result(k,1:end-1),options)
now for each Iteration step i want some values that the function 'esm6' calculates to be saved in an Array. I tried the following:
In the first line of the function i wrote
identi.sim.i_optiIter = identi.sim.i_optiIter + 1;
to have an iteration-variable counting the iteration steps of fminsearch. And later to catch the values that I need I used
identi.sim.guete_werte.gew(identi.sim.i_optiIter,:,:) = y_sim;
identi.sim.guete_werte.ungew(identi.sim.i_optiIter,:,:) = y_sim_ungew;
and to make sure that I use the new values of the identi-struct for the next function call, I wrote this at the end of the function:
assignin('base','identi',identi);
Now unfortunatly it doesn't do what I wanted it to do. Can anyone help me with this?
EDIT:
I made another attempt on it, using an Output function. I extendend my Options like this:
options = optimset('Display','iter','MaxIter',3,'OutputFcn',#outfun);
But now the Problem is that i cannot figure out where to put this outfun. The outfun Looks like this:
function stop = outfun(x,optimvalues,state,iteration,y_sim,y_sim_ungew)
stop = false;
if state == 'iter'
guete_werte.gew(iteration,:,:) = y_sim;
guete_werte.ungew(iteration,:,:) = y_sim_ungew;
end
end
Now the Problem with it is, that i can not put it in the file, where i call the fminsearch, because that is a script. If i put the outputfunction into a separate .m-function file, it is not able to Access the variables of the esm6 function. And if I add it to the esm6-function file, matlab can't find the function and says
??? Error using ==> feval Undefined function or method 'outfun' for
input arguments of type 'struct'.
I'm learning about MATLAB classes they certainly seem different to what I'm used to. Below is an example class I'm using.
I initialise my class with the line below,
myClass = ClassTest(3);
This is fine. The issue I have is calling the RunMain function.
First call
myClass.RunMain(myClass)
I get the error message too many inputs.
Second call
myClass.RunMain(myClass, anything)
This call works. However, I find it strange I need to supply a second parameter which is never used - just seem messy. Sure I'm missing something here.
classdef ClassTest < handle
properties
myNum;
myDate = datenum(date);
end
methods
function ct = ClassTest(someNum)
ct.myNum = someNum;
end
% this function does not work when called
%function RunMain(obj)
% obj.myNum = obj.myNum * 2;
% disp(obj.myNum);
%end
% this works
function RunMain(obj, anything)
obj.myNum = obj.myNum * 2;
disp(obj.myNum);
end
end
Update
I can see when I debug that the anything parameter is exactly the same as obj even obj.myNum has changed value.
Correct syntax for calling a method where myClass is an object of the class defining the method RunMain is:
In case of function RunMain(obj) it is one of these:
myClass.RunMain()
RunMain(myClass)
In case of function RunMain(obj, anything) it is one of these:
myClass.RunMain(anything)
RunMain(myClass, anything)
You can find more details regarding syntax here:

localfunctions returns function handles to all the local functions in an m-file. However, this doesn't work in a package. For example, the following code saved as 'a.m' runs fine:
function fs = a()
fs = localfunctions;
end
function babo()
end
function hidden()
end
Called from MATLAB console:
>> a()
ans =
#babo
#hidden
But when it is inside a package as '+aaa/b.m', I get nothing:
>> aaa.b()
ans =
{}
I don't think this behavior is well documented. How do I overcome this?
I need to use localfunctions to unit test some functions within the package and I don't want to keep it outside of the package just because of this.
One solution would be to import the package before calling localfunctions:
+mypkg/mytest.m
function f = mytest()
import mypkg.*
f = localfunctions;
end
function foo()
end
function bar()
end
When called:
>> f = mypkg.mytest()
f =
#foo
#bar
>> functions(f{1})
ans =
function: 'foo'
type: 'scopedfunction'
file: 'C:\Users\Amro\Desktop\+mypkg\mytest.m'
parentage: {'foo' 'mytest'}
There is a bug in R2013b and R2014a where localfunctions does not respect the package of the file containing the local functions. This bug has been reported to The MathWorks for fixing in a future release.
Until then, Amro's workaround is the best option.
EDIT: This has been fixed in release R2014b.
I have defined an abstract base class measurementHandler < handle which defines the interface for all inherited classes. Two subclasses of this class are a < measurementHandler and b < measurementHandler.
I now have a function which should return a handle to an instance of either of these subclasses (depending on the function arguments) to it's caller. Consider something like this:
function returnValue = foobar(index)
if index == 0
returnValue = a();
else
returnValue = b();
end
end
This function is enclosed in a MATLAB Function block in Simulink (2013a). When I try to simulate the system, I get the following error:
Type name mismatch (a ~= b).
Can anybody suggest a workaround for this which still allows me to take advantage of OOP & inheritance when using Simulink?
This kind of pattern is possible in MATLAB Function block only if the "if" condition can be evaluated at compile time. The types cannot be switched at run-time. Can you make the index value a constant at the call site?
The main reason to use this pattern was to iterate over a measurementHandler Array, while these all can have custom implementations. I was able to do this by unrolling the loop with the coder.unroll directive. Example for the enclosing MTALAB Function block:
function result = handleAllTheMeasurements(someInputs)
%#codegen
for index = coder.unroll(1:2)
measurementHandler = foobar(index);
measurementHandler.handleMeasurement(someInputs);
end
result = something;
end
This way, the for loop gets unrolled at compile time and the return type of the function is well defined for each separate call.
I'm working on a command line application for ultrasound simulation in MATLAB. Nearly every object in our code is a subclass of handle (to pass as references). The problem I'm having is that all the methods inherited from the handle class shows up under the "Methods" section in MATLAB (see example below).
What I want is to hide the inherited methods from the handle class so that only the function the user is allowed to use is shown under "Methods". This way it doesn't look so messy for the user if he/she wants to know which methods to use.
Example Test class:
classdef Test < handle
methods
function myFunction(obj)
end
end
end
In the command line:
T = Test()
T =
Test handle with no properties.
Methods, Events, Superclasses
After clicking on "Methods":
Methods for class Test:
Test delete findobj ge isvalid lt ne
addlistener eq findprop gt le myFunction notify
What I want:
Methods for class Test:
Test myFunction
Is this possible in MATLAB?
If you overload all of the subclass methods in a hidden methods block I think it will do exactly what you're looking for.
I'm not sure which versions of Matlab this works in, but it definitely works for me in R2012b.
The exception is isvalid as it is Sealed so you can't override it in a handle subclass.
classdef handle_light < handle
methods(Hidden)
function lh = addlistener(varargin)
lh = addlistener#handle(varargin{:});
end
function notify(varargin)
notify#handle(varargin{:});
end
function delete(varargin)
delete#handle(varargin{:});
end
function Hmatch = findobj(varargin)
Hmatch = findobj#handle(varargin{:});
end
function p = findprop(varargin)
p = findprop#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = eq(varargin)
TF = eq#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = ne(varargin)
TF = ne#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = lt(varargin)
TF = lt#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = le(varargin)
TF = le#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = gt(varargin)
TF = gt#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = ge(varargin)
TF = ge#handle(varargin{:});
end
function TF = isvalid(varargin)
TF = isvalid#handle(varargin{:});
end
end
end
If you save the above class to handle_light.m and then type methods handle_light in the command window you will get the following result:
Methods for class handle_light:
handle_light isvalid
The Test class then becomes:
classdef Test < handle_light
methods
function myFunction(obj)
end
end
end
Doing it in this way means that you don't need to put the overloads in the Test class which keeps things neater.
There is a solution here, including sample code.
In short, what you need to do is to overload Matlab's built-in function methods, so that when it is called on your class, it removes the methods of handle from the output. Make sure it works on everything else, though so that you don't mess up your user's other code. If you don't use the #foldername variant to store your class, you could put it into a private directory, for example.
Not a full solution, but if you do methods(T, '-full'), then it at least tells you which methods are inherited from handle, so you know what to ignore.
Just get the functions from the inherited class and cancel them out with the ones from the main class using setdiff.
mH = methods('handle');
m = methods('MyClass');
m = setdiff(m,mH);
