Restore Library Definition - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Main Content

While publishing a MATLAB® interface to a C++ library, you might iterate over the steps, close and reopen the clibPublishInterfaceWorkflow workflow script, or restart MATLAB. If you restart MATLAB before completing the steps to publish an interface, you might see this error:

Unable to resolve the name 'libraryDefinitionFromTask.InterfaceName'.

To preserve your workflow script, use the 1a: Restore library definition step in the script to create alibraryDefinitionFromTask variable. To create the variable, set these variables in the code section:

• Set the outputFolderPath variable to the value of theOutput folder parameter in the Live Editor task.
• Set the libraryNameForInterface variable to the value of theName of interface library parameter in the Live Editor task.

if evalin('base','exist(''libraryDefinitionFromTask'',''var'') == 0') outputFolderPath = ""; % Set outputFolderPath to the live task Output folder selection libraryNameForInterface = ""; % Set libraryNameForInterface to the live task Name of interface library if outputFolderPath ~= "" && libraryNameForInterface ~= "" addpath(outputFolderPath) libraryDefinitionFromTask = feval("define"+libraryNameForInterface); end clear outputFolderPath libraryNameForInterface end

Save your workflow script. If you exit and restart MATLAB, then you can continue using the workflow script to publish a MATLAB interface to your C++ library.

Note

The best practice is to create the libraryDefinitionFromTask variable after clicking Generate definition file in the Live Editor task step 1.

While developing an interface, consider using the 4b: Enable out-of-process execution mode step in the workflow script. For more information, see Load C++ Library In-Process or Out-of-Process.
