sbiosaveproject gives error "Unrecognized function or variable 'cleanupDirectories'."

I am using simbiology to run my code and its been working fine. However, periodically I would have errors with sbiosaveproject.

When I get errors, I can dive into the sbiosaveproject and see that its doing a try and catch on the sbiogate function (this code is taken from line 130-160 of sbiosaveproject:

errorOccurred = false;

try

filesToZip = {matFileName, manifestFileName};

sbiogate('privateadddesktopfilestoproject', projfilename_new, filesToZip);

catch

errorOccurred = true;

end

If I debug and stop it at that function and run it in the command line, i get this error:

K>> sbiogate('privateadddesktopfilestoproject', projfilename_new, filesToZip)

Unrecognized function or variable 'cleanupDirectories'.

Error in privateadddesktopfilestoproject

Error in sbiogate (line 22)

feval(varargin{:});

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I do a which on cleanupDirectories, I get this:

K>> which cleanupDirectories

'cleanupDirectories' not found.

I have tried to delete all forms of MatLab and redownload. I have read and write access to all the temp folders. I have tried to specifically manually delete and reinstall simbiology. Nothing works to get the sbiosaveproject code to run again.

Jen, I am very sorry that you have run into errors calling sbiosaveproject. There are two issues here:

1) The missing “cleanupDirectories” function is being called when trying to clean up a temporary output directory that was left behind from a previous failed call to sbiosaveproject. Restarting MATLAB will reset the temporary output directory.

2) If sbiosaveproject errored in a previous call to save a given project <projName>.sbproj, there may be an intermediate file, <projName>.new.sbproj, in the same directory. Delete this file and try saving again in a fresh MATLAB session.

We will address both of these bugs in future releases of MATLAB.
