The issue you're facing stems from MATLAB's class resolution rules, which differ from normal function resolution. Even though which myClass shows your current folder’s version, MATLAB gives priority to the @myClass folder inside your path (Other_Code/@myClass) because class folders on the path override regular .m files in the current folder.
Feel free to try one of the following workarounds to resolve this:
- Temporarily remove the interfering path using:
rmpath('path_to/Other_Code');
- Rename your local file (myClass.m) to avoid name conflicts.
- Use a local @myClass folder in the current directory to ensure precedence.
- Force MATLAB to refresh the path cache and class definitions:
clear classes;
rehash path;
