Error using Table with New Installation of 2022a

When I run these simple commands, I get the following error. I'm not sure where to look to address this.

xmin=1; xmax=2; ymin=3; ymax=5;

tst = table(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax);

Error using table

The specified superclass 'matlab.mixin.indexing.RedefinesDot' contains a parse error, cannot be

found on MATLAB's search path, or is shadowed by another file with the same name.

I have been using version 2021a previously and 2022a was just installed.

We are seeing exactly the same problem with table via MATLAB Production Server. It's an intermittiment problem, it works fine for some time and then starts throwing this strange error. We do not have another table.m file (confirmed by adding which table -all debugging output).

The only work around is to restart the MPS server or redeploy the CTF, both of which prove to be only temporary solutions. Feels like a bug in MATLAB itself?

I was able to run your code in R2022a without error.

It can also be run in R2022a on this platform (note the 'Ran in R2022a' stamp in the upper right of this post).

xmin=1;xmax=2;ymin=3;ymax=5;
tst = table(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax)

tst = 1×4 table
    xmin    xmax    ymin    ymax
    ____    ____    ____    ____

There appears to be an issue with your install. Perhaps try reinstalling?

You don't have your own m-file called table.m do you? What does this show:

which -all table

[Paul Safier]

I get this ouput, which I think is normal:

which -all table

/nfs/mathworks/matlab/R2022a/common/toolbox/matlab/datatypes/tabular/@table/table.m % table constructor

/nfs/mathworks/matlab/R2022a/common/toolbox/matlab/bigdata/@tall/table.m % tall method

/nfs/mathworks/matlab/R2022a/common/toolbox/parallel/parallel/@codistributed/table.m % codistributed method

/nfs/mathworks/matlab/R2022a/common/toolbox/parallel/parallel/@distributed/table.m % distributed method

we're going to try and reinstall... Thanks for your suggestion.

This sounds like the path is not configured correctly for R2022a. If reinstalling does not help, then please try

>> restoredefaultpath

>> rehash toolboxcache

>> savepath
