Hello
I believe that I am facing a similar problem to yours, Mike Volz. I allow myself to restart this topic, then.
I have two machines; the master one (using Jenkins as a Windows service) and the other one, a slave, which has a Matlab license. I am trying to run a .m script to make some tests, from Jenkins.
The problem is that at some point, the script is kind of "blocked". I investigated to find this point, and it appeared to be from this next command:
[a,b]=xlsread(<excel_file_path>, 'sheet')
I tried to isolate and run it from Jenkins too, but it stopped again, with no error messages released. And it was the same for the xlswrite and xlsinfo commands. I thought it was concerning any command that was dealing with Excel, but I am able to run this one though:
Excel=actxserver('Excel.Application')
The thing is when I run my script from matlab or from Command prompt, everything works well.
Actually, what the m.script does is reading the excel file that orchestrates the simulation of the tests and, catching some values.
The other functions suggested by Matlab (importdata, textscan, readtable,etc.) are not really interesting for what I want to do although I am able to get some logs from Jenkins in this case and, it does not stuck.
When I run this line from Command prompt, it is okay:
matlab -wait -r "run('<m.script_path>'),exit;"
I have tried to change the file extension(xlsx to xls), but it was not convincing.
Like Mike Volz, I thought that some specific permissions was needed but I really have no idea.
Thanks for your help,
Maïna
