OS X Sierra: Can't make the magic commands work #258
Description
Hey there,
I'm pretty much out of ideas how to fix my issue.
This code works like a charm, no problems whatsoever.
from pymatbridge import Matlab
mlab = Matlab(executable='/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin/matlab')
mlab.start()
However, I would really like to be able to use magic codes. Both codes below give me this error: ValueError: MATLAB failed to start
%load_ext pymatbridge
import pymatbridge as pymat
ip = get_ipython()
pymat.load_ipython_extension(ip)
I even tried changing MATLAB_BIN=/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/bin/ in .../messenger/mexmaci/local.cfg, didn't help either.
Last but not least - I tried changing dir to .../messenger/ and running python3.6 make.py matlab. Got an error:
macbook-air:messenger Gacek$ python3.6 make.py matlab
Building messenger.mexmaci64...

Would be grateful for any ideas!

Matt

Maybe add an alias to your shell configuration?

No luck either. Is there any way to combine it all together and custom matlab path (like below) with
pymatbridge.load_ipython_extension()?arokem commentedon May 22, 2018
I believe this should work:
Doesn't it?
arokem commentedon May 22, 2018
Sorry, I mean:
gacek91 commentedon May 22, 2018
I tried doing that as well before, doesn't work because there's no such keyword argument:
arokem commentedon May 22, 2018
Oh - I think that's because it doesn't follow the same API.

Could you please try the following?

Damn, it works! Cheers!
