Re: Octave class search path problem

[John Evans]

I find the error message that it is generating to be somewhat suspicious. The error that I'm receiving says,

error: no such file, `/baz/@foo/foo.m'

It's not able to find foo.m, because foo actually exists at 

/fooBar/@foo/foo.m

What I'm confused by is why it is looking for my class file at /baz/@foo/foo.m. Furthermore, it appears that it will always look for foo in the current directory, regardless of where I navigate. If I 

cd /some/random/directory 

then attempt to instantiate foo, it will result in an error message reading,

error: no such file, `/some/random/directory/@foo/foo.m'

Weird, huh?

The problem is in your IP then. It should work if you change your
object constructor to something like:

function x = foo()
        x = struct;
        x = class(x, "foo");
endfunction
