I Understand that you are trying to deploy a MATLAB app to the MATLAB Web App Server, there are some differences in how paths and file access are handled compared to running the app locally. The issue you are encountering is likely due to the way paths are set or how files are accessed on the server.
Here are some steps and best practices to ensure your app works both locally and on the MATLAB Web App Server:
- Use Absolute Paths: Instead of using relative paths, use absolute paths to ensure the server can find the files regardless of the current working directory.
- Use `fullfile` for Cross-Platform Compatibility: Construct paths using `fullfile` to ensure compatibility across different operating systems.
- Check the Current Directory: Ensure that the current working directory is set correctly on the server.
By following these steps, you should be able to ensure that your app works correctly both locally and on the MATLAB Web App Server.
function main()
% Get the path to the folder containing the app
appFolder = fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'));
% Set the current directory to the app folder
cd(appFolder);
% Define the path to the folder containing the m-files
mFilesFolder = fullfile(appFolder, 'm_files');
% Add the folder to the MATLAB path
addpath(mFilesFolder);
inputData = 5;
% Call the functions
resultA = A_calculate(inputData);
resultB = B_review(resultA);
C_plot(resultB);
end
Additional Tips:
- Check Permissions: Ensure that the MATLAB Web App Server has the necessary permissions to access the folders and files.
- Logging: Add logging to your app to capture any issues that might occur on the server. Use `fprintf` or the `log` function to write messages to a log file.
- Debugging: If the app still doesn't work, add debug messages to check the current directory and the paths being used.
disp(['Current directory: ', pwd]);
disp(['m_files folder: ', mFilesFolder]);
By following these steps, you should be able to ensure that your app works correctly both locally and on the MATLAB Web App Server.
I hope this helps!
