Undefined variable "internal" or class while generating a TODO/FIXEME report

Hello everybody,

I have recently switched (from Matlab 2015) to Matlab 2017 and there is something which I would like to ask for any clue! I have a code which is automatically generating a TODO/FIXME report. It works in Matlab 2015 but in Matlab 2017 I have faced this message and it doesn't work.

"Warning: Executing startup failed in matlabrc.
This indicates a potentially serious problem in your MATLAB setup, which should
be resolved as soon as possible.  Error detected was:
MATLAB:undefinedVarOrClass
Undefined variable "internal" or class
"internal.matlab.codetools.reports.displayLoadingMessage"."

and this is because of this line which is responsible for generating loading message:

      internal.matlab.codetools.reports.displayLoadingMessage(reportName);

would be thankful for any idea!

I assume, TODO/FIXME is called by startup.m

I guess, your Matlab search path has been corrupted. See Path Unsuccessfully Set at Startup

That tool is now at

internal.matlab.reports.displayLoadingMessage

instead of

internal.matlab.codetools.reports.displayLoadingMessage

You probably have an old version of dofixrpt.m on your MATLAB path and being run in your matlabrc

Thank you very much, Walter. Now it works :)
