Simulink Model Comparison does not work when new .slx files are added in the project.

[ojas-pixxel]

When a completely new .slx file is added to a Simulink Project and the following .m file is ran, the following error is observed.

{Error using assert fatal: path 'new_simulink_file.slx' exists on disk, but not in 'refs/remotes/origin/main'

Error in diffGitHub_pullrequest>getAncestor (line 63) assert(status==0, result);

Error in diffGitHub_pullrequest>diffToAncestor (line 39) ancestor = getAncestor(tempdir,fileName);

Error in diffGitHub_pullrequest (line 27) report = diffToAncestor(tempdir,string(modifiedFiles(i)));

} exit status 1

Checking if every simulink file has an ancestor and if not, adding such Simulink files in a new report could be a possible alternative.

Hey @rnakhoul, any idea when this issue could be closed? Thanks for maintaining this Repo :)

Hi. Thank you for reporting.

A quick workaround is to edit the m-file with a try catch block in the getAncestor function.
