To avoid deprecation warnings when using import function dynamically, switch to using fully qualified path names in the import statement. Alternatively, you can replace import statements statically before any function execution.
You can refer to the below:
- Use a dummy import statement like import('STUB') where needed, and replace these with import('my_movable_package.*') using an init.m script.
- Place this script in the package's root folder to recursively update all files with the correct fully qualified paths.
To recursively find all .m files in a package you can use the code snippet shown:
function INIT()
script_full_path = mfilename('fullpath');
[package_root, ~, ~] = fileparts(script_full_path);
files = dir(fullfile(package_root, '**', '*.m'));
for k = 1:length(files)
file_path = fullfile(files(k).folder, files(k).name);
if strcmp(files(k).name, 'init.m')
continue;
end
replace_stub(file_path, package_root);
end
end
function replace_stub(file_path, package_root)
fid = fopen(file_path, 'r');
file_content = fread(fid, '*char')';
fclose(fid);
relative_path = strrep(file_path, [fileparts(package_root), filesep], '');
relative_path = fileparts(relative_path);
package_path = strrep(relative_path, ['+', filesep], '');
package_path = strrep(package_path, '+', '');
package_path = strrep(package_path, filesep, '.');
import_statement = sprintf("import('%s.*')", package_path);
new_content = strrep(file_content, "import('STUB')", import_statement);
fid = fopen(file_path, 'w');
fwrite(fid, new_content);
fclose(fid);
end
INIT();
This package can then be imported and used as shown below:
>> import my_movable_package.*
>> init
>> functionA(10, 12)
>> functionB(10)
