matlab-emacs-discuss — Discuss Emacs/MATLAB integration

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi Leo,

Sorry for the late reply.

The regexp's you found are the ones that match the output of the MATLAB version that I've been using.  (9b,10a) 

I also left in old expressions for older MATLABs.  The right solution here is to likely start your MATLAB from an XTerm or other terminal with no interpreters enabled, and run the emacsinit.m script which will cause 'opentoline' and such to use emacsclient, and enable hotlinks.

Next, produce some error.  That's the raw text.  The error regular expressions will need to match that uniquely.  Unfortunately, different kinds of errors are handled in different places.  Errors with "error:" are in the process filter, and dbstack output are in yet another variable.  Hopefully this will reveal some simple variant to one of these expressions.

Eric

Subject: Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

I am continuing to troubleshoot the issue of errors not turning into
anchors by default in matlab-shell.  I got the errors to turn into
matlab by modifying the following variables:

(setq matlab-shell-error-stack-start "^\\?\\?\\?\\s-")
(setq matlab-shell-error-stack-end "^\\s-*$")

In other words, I simply deleted the closing/opening brace after "^"
in the regexp (original definitions were:)
(defvar matlab-shell-error-stack-start "^{\\?\\?\\?\\s-")
(defvar matlab-shell-error-stack-end "^}\\s-*$")

Is this a reasonable fix?..  (I suspect it is not, because now
(string-match matlab-shell-error-stack-end str) on line 4542 seems to
return t for any output, not just errors).  However, I am not sure why
the braces were there in the original regular expressions -- it looks
like the only difference between "error" output and normal output is
an extra blank line that appears between the text and the Matlab
command prompt.  So perhaps the  matlab-shell-error-stack-end regexp
should be set up to match a blank line?..

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Deactivate mark after matlab-shell-run-region

[Leo A. <dn...@gm...>]

I was trying to figure out how to deactivate mark after sending some
commands to matlab-shell via matlab-shell-run-region.  Writing a
wrapper function and calling (deactivate-mark) after
matlab-shell-run-region doesn't work (even though manually invoking it
works as expected).  I found that the solution is to stick
(deactivate-mark) before  (display-buffer msbn) in
matlab-shell-run-region -- but is there a way to achieve this without
modifying matlab.el?..  If not, you might consider having this as an
option (as in ESS/R); I think deactivating the mark is a sensible
default.

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Leo A. <dn...@gm...>]

Eric, good catch on comint-prompt-read-only!  It was indeed non-nil
(thanks to some code in EmacsWiki related to ESS).  That took care of
the tab problem (and also fixed a problem when interacting with R
buffers through ESS).

However, my errors still don't turn into links -- even running with
emacs -q -- and the behavior where the last actual hyperlink (e.g.
from running help) is assumed to be the last error (when doing M-g n)
still persists.  Any ideas?.

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Do you perhaps have the variable `comint-prompt-read-only' set to some non-nil value?

Older Emacs versions used to have this be non-nil, but I was pretty sure I had fixed matlab.el for this, but things may have regressed while I was using newer versions of Emacs.

If this is not the case, you can try starting Emacs with "-q", to not load your init file, and then hand-load in matlab.el, and try your test case.  If that works, then there is some configuration issue in your .emacs file.

Eric,
Thanks for your response.

Regarding matlab-shell-collect-command-output -- it prints the
following to the messages buffer: save-excursion: Text is read-only.
So it looks like for some reason it fails to delete the output and
bails.

I have no idea what's going on with errors not being converted to
links -- but perhaps something similar is preventing the code from
modifying the buffer?..

But the matlab shell buffer itself is not read-only (buffer-read-only
is nil; using   (barf-if-buffer-read-only) has no effect...)

Any ideas on what might be happening?

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Leo A. <dn...@gm...>]

Eric,
Thanks for your response.

Regarding matlab-shell-collect-command-output -- it prints the
following to the messages buffer: save-excursion: Text is read-only.
So it looks like for some reason it fails to delete the output and
bails.

I have no idea what's going on with errors not being converted to
links -- but perhaps something similar is preventing the code from
modifying the buffer?..

But the matlab shell buffer itself is not read-only (buffer-read-only
is nil; using   (barf-if-buffer-read-only) has no effect...)

Any ideas on what might be happening?

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

I gave this a quick run and found that it was working as I expected still, and I have the CVS version of matlab.el, with no pending changes.

When "tab" is pressed, it should split the window, and display the completions in a separate buffer, independent of the matlab-shell buffer.  It will also do the completion if there is only one option.  The misc text you quoted below is what matlab-shell does under-the-covers to get the completion list.

It works internally by flipping into a "capture some text" mode, then back out again when the capture is done, or when another prompt ">>" is shown again.  K prompts "K>>" and student prompts "EDU>>" should also work.

It will also key off of carriage returns, and a few other things to try and distinguish between text to be captured, text to turn into links, and regular text.

I'll take a guess that some bit of text has put it into a bad state.  Here are some possibilities:

If you have some non-standard prompt, see line 4392 where comint-prompt-regexp is set.  There are a few other hard-coded prompts around too.

If the error text is somehow "new", or contains bad text, look at matlab-shell-render-errors-as-anchor, or matlab-shell-render-html-as-anchor, and the regular expressions that go into those.

Lastly, there is matlab-shell-collect-command-output, which captures output, which sends a command, then spins waiting for a prompt to come up.  This is exiting early w/ your tab completion.  Perhaps there is an issue with carriage returns?

Good Luck
Eric

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

Hi all,
I recently started using matlab-emacs (with matlab-shell) on a more
regular basis, and I am reasonably happy with the workflow -- but I am
also seeing some anomalies, in particular with debugging and
tab-completion.

First, if I encounter an error during execution, the offending file
name does not turn into a link (like it does using Matlab GUI), which
I believe should also be happening here.  This also appears to break
the "go to last error" functionality: if there are links anywhere else
in the command window (e.g. as a result of "help" command) the "go to
last error" will follow the link e.g. to the documentation page,
ignoring the error.  (If there aren't links, then it will jump to the
error line in the offending file, but if I've run "help" on any
command, the go-to-last-error is now broken for this session).  I
would really appreciate pointers on how I might troubleshoot this --
the behavior is clearly broken.

Second (minor) issue is that tab completion (e.g. typing test<tab>)
dumps the following to the buffer:
>> matlabMCRprocess = com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabMCR
 matlabMCRprocess =
 com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabMCR@7deb41d6
 >> matlabMCRprocess.mtFindAllTabCompletions('test'), clear('matlabMCRprocess');
 ans =
 java.lang.String[]:
     'test'
    'test_step_by_step'
    'test_trainlm_gradient'
    'testm'
    'testobjectiveinfo'
    'testscript

It this the intended behavior?..  Would it be possible to just display
stuff after java.lang.String[]?..

Relevant versions: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), Matlab
7.8.0.347 (R2009a) 64-bit (glnxa64), latest version of matlab-emacs

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging, tab completion in matlab-shell?

[Leo A. <dn...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I recently started using matlab-emacs (with matlab-shell) on a more
regular basis, and I am reasonably happy with the workflow -- but I am
also seeing some anomalies, in particular with debugging and
tab-completion.

First, if I encounter an error during execution, the offending file
name does not turn into a link (like it does using Matlab GUI), which
I believe should also be happening here.  This also appears to break
the "go to last error" functionality: if there are links anywhere else
in the command window (e.g. as a result of "help" command) the "go to
last error" will follow the link e.g. to the documentation page,
ignoring the error.  (If there aren't links, then it will jump to the
error line in the offending file, but if I've run "help" on any
command, the go-to-last-error is now broken for this session).  I
would really appreciate pointers on how I might troubleshoot this --
the behavior is clearly broken.

Second (minor) issue is that tab completion (e.g. typing test<tab>)
dumps the following to the buffer:
>> matlabMCRprocess = com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabMCR
 matlabMCRprocess =
 com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabMCR@7deb41d6
 >> matlabMCRprocess.mtFindAllTabCompletions('test'), clear('matlabMCRprocess');
 ans =
 java.lang.String[]:
     'test'
    'test_step_by_step'

Yay, that did it!  I did not read carefully enough the lines to add to

Sorry, I forgot something. The path/to/matlab_el should be something like  
this "~/.emacs.d/matlab-emacs", it is the path to the *directory* where  
your matlab.el is located.

Are you sure that you specified the path in step 2b. correctly? I get the  
same error when I remove the path to matlab_el.

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading

Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Okay thanks but ....  "I do not know what I'm doing," means that I cannot
follow the instructions in the "INSTALL" file.

Here is my attempt to do so:

1. In terminal --- make "LOADPATH=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/eieio/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/bovine/
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/"

2a. In terminal --- sudo gedit /home/matt/.emacs

2b. Add the following two lines to ".emacs"

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/matlab_el")
(require 'matlab-load)

So that is what reading the "INSTALL" file got me to do.  I apparently did
not interpret it correctly, because ".m" files still look the same in Emacs,
i.e. no syntax highlighting etc.

Thanks for the response!

Hi

With the mentioned commands you've downloaded the files. Now you need to
follow the instructions in the "INSTALL" file.

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Greetings.  I do not know what I'm doing!  I'm just down with Emacs and have
to use Matlab (FreeMat actually) so I would like to be able to edit ".m"
files in Emacs with

   - Syntax highlighting
   - Smart Indentation engine
   - Smart auto-fill for comments and code

I am running Ubuntu.  I installed CVS, then sequentially executed the
following two commands in terminal:

"cvs -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
login"

I amusing just the enter key when prompted for the password, then

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
co -P matlab-emacs"

A bunch of stuff happened in the terminal, i.e. text went scrolling by, so I
guessed it worked but I do not see any difference in Emacs when editing a
".m" file.  I even tried M-x matlab-mode in Emacs, but it said "[No match]".

So pretty much, I know not what I'm doing and hope I don't break my system,
and so would like your help in getting matlab mode working in Emacs.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sadly, that line in the INSTALL is bogus.  It should read:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/whatever")

I clearly use too many different languages.

I need a little help with matlab-emacs because I'm getting an error,
even though I believe I followed the installation instructions. 


This is the error I'm getting:


Symbol's function definition is void: add-to-path


Then I run emacs --debug-init myfile.m:

͂

When I click on command-line() emacs complains that it 

Can't find library /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/startup.el

although I do have startup.elc in that path.




This is what I did to install cedet and matlab-emacs:


I downloaded matlab-emacs from cvs. I downloaded also cedet-1.0pre6. Put
both in the same directory, then created a link cedet to cedet-1.0pre6.
In cedet I did 

make

then in matlab-emacs I also did make. This is what I have in my .emacs
file:


;---------------------
; Enable MATLAB mode |
; --------------------
;; Load CEDET.
;; See cedet/common/cedet.info for configuration details.
(load-file "~/mymatlab/emacsMode/cedet-1.0pre6/common/cedet.el")


;; Enable EDE (Project Management) features

When I click on command-line() emacs complains that it 

Can't find library /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/startup.el

although I do have startup.elc in that path.




This is what I did to install cedet and matlab-emacs:


I downloaded matlab-emacs from cvs. I downloaded also cedet-1.0pre6. Put
both in the same directory, then created a link cedet to cedet-1.0pre6.
In cedet I did 

make

then in matlab-emacs I also did make. This is what I have in my .emacs
file:


;---------------------
; Enable MATLAB mode |
; --------------------
;; Load CEDET.
;; See cedet/common/cedet.info for configuration details.
(load-file "~/mymatlab/emacsMode/cedet-1.0pre6/common/cedet.el")


;; Enable EDE (Project Management) features
(global-ede-mode 1)

;; Enable EDE for a pre-existing C++ project
;; (ede-cpp-root-project "NAME" :file "~/myproject/Makefile")


;; Enabling Semantic (code-parsing, smart completion) features
;; Select one of the following:

;; * This enables the database and idle reparse engines
(semantic-load-enable-minimum-features)

;; * This enables some tools useful for coding, such as summary mode
;;   imenu support, and the semantic navigator
(semantic-load-enable-code-helpers)

;; * This enables even more coding tools such as intellisense mode
;;   decoration mode, and stickyfunc mode (plus regular code helpers)
;; (semantic-load-enable-gaudy-code-helpers)

;; * This enables the use of Exuberent ctags if you have it installed.
;;   If you use C++ templates or boost, you should NOT enable it.
;; (semantic-load-enable-all-exuberent-ctags-support)

;; Enable SRecode (Template management) minor-mode.
;; (global-srecode-minor-mode 1)


;; Matlab proper
(add-to-path "~/mymatlab/emacsMode/matlab-emacs/matlab.el")
(require 'matlab-load)



Thanks for any help.

[Matlab-emacs-discuss] matlab-shell not working due to unknown TERM

[David E. <de...@ra...>]

Hello all,

since I just spend an hour with this, I think it might be good to post
my experiences here.

I just migrated from Matlab 7.4 to 7.6 at work (I know, I'm pretty
conservative), and Emacs matlab-shell was no longer working on certain
GNU/Linux machines. It would just abort with the typical

"1 assert/signal failures have occurred; MATLAB will abort in 10 seconds."

I know this error usually arises when trying to use MATLAB on a non-SSE2
machine, but this was not the case here.

After some digging, I found that the cause was that on those machines
there was no terminfo for 'emacs'. You can test this by running Matlab
with a non-existing TERM like

TERM=foobar matlab -nodesktop -nosplash

I tested this with different MATLAB versions on one of our machines, and
there 7.4 and 7.9 ran fine with this TERM variable, while 7.6 aborted.

For getting Matlab 7.6 to start in matlab-shell, you can either use

(setq system-uses-terminfo t)

as a workaround, or you provide a terminfo entry for emacs. On my Ubuntu
machines, I just did

mkdir /etc/terminfo/e
ln -s /usr/share/terminfo/d/dumb /etc/terminfo/e/emacs

which will make 'emacs' an alias for 'dumb'.

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Your error is probably because the default in variable semanticdb-matlab-include-paths is incorrect.

You could either customize it, or create the directory.  Creating the directory is probably best since it is on your path by default, and is a handy place to put MATLAB files.  I think you are the first to try this code and not have that directory. ;)

I'll also fix that file so that it doesn't use that default if it doesn't exist.

I have just installed cedet.  And started using it.

I have the following error.  What does it mean and what do I do?

Idle Work Parse Error: "#<buffer IncDir.m> - Opening directory: no
such file or directory, /home/tk/matlab" [4 times]

Further, what is a good maybe short introduction to cedet?
