Why's getFileInfoForToolstrip missing after update to R2018a

75 views (last 30 days)
Since updating to MAtlab R2018a, I have been getting the error: Undefined function or variable 'matlab.unittest.internal.ui.toolstrip.getFileInfoForToolstrip', periodically in my command window. Specifically happens every time that I save a file in the editor.

I also saw that if i closed all files, cleared workspace and restarted Matlab 2018a, I got multiple errors regarding missing files/folders. Browsing around, I saw those folders did exist in my 2017a tree but have been deprecated from my 2018a tree. (example is: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\toolbox\matlab\addons\fallbackmanager). I added one of these directories in the 2017a tree to my path, and restarted 2018a. No errors on restart! Then I removed the 2017a folder from my path and again restarted 2018a. To my surprise, still no error at startup.

However... I still see the same error: Undefined function or variable 'matlab.unittest.internal.ui.toolstrip.getFileInfoForToolstrip' each time I save a file I've edited.

For performance purposes, MATLAB caches a list of files on the MATLAB search path (including toolbox files), and this cache can persist even after closing MATLAB (but not after restarting your machin). It seems that this cache is getting into a bad state on your machine.
Try the following commands:
restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache
savepath
If the above fails to resolve the issue, try restarting your system.

Sorry, not working for mine. Still getting these errors and I cannot do anything with matlab, even I re-installed twice.
Unrecognized function or variable 'rmiml.visibleInToolstrip'.

In addition to Sonam Gupta's comments, be sure to check the Matlab startup folder.
(On windows, the default is %userprofile%\documents\MATLAB\ )
If there is a pathdef.m file there, Matlab will load this on startup. See if removing or renaming this file solves your issue.

I get the same three errors, but restoring the path or reinstall Matlab does not work out. Any suggestions?
