Tab completion error in Matlab 2017a #28

Closed chenming-wu closed 7 years ago

chenming-wu commented 7 years ago

Hi Alec, When I use add_gptoolbox_tab_completion in my Matlab 2017a environment, a failure occurs as:

Error tabcomplete>getCurrentXmlDefs (line 170)
E:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\toolbox\local\TC.xml was not found - cannot set tab-completions

Error tabcomplete (line 106)
    [defs,tcXmlFilename] = getCurrentXmlDefs;

Error add_gptoolbox_tab_completion>@(x)tabcomplete(x{1},x{2})

Error add_gptoolbox_tab_completion (line 75)
  cellfun(@(x) tabcomplete(x{1},x{2}),L,'UniformOutput',false);

How to fix this error? Thanks.

Apparently the TC.xml tab-completion is obsolete. There is now a more powerful but convoluted way of adding tab completion by placing a functionSignatures.json file in the same directory as the functions. See for example:

https://github.com/alecjacobson/gptoolbox/blob/master/mesh/functionSignatures.json

I suppose I ought to just delete the old tab completion functions...
