.m module cached in Jupyter notebook environment

I am using jpyter notebook with matlab engine running in the environment. I have a directory of .m files which I import using

addpath(my_folder);

I need to make a change to one of the files in this my_folder directory. However, everytime I ran my notebook, it still loads the old version. Even when I rename the entire directory, it still finds the old one.

I tried various techniques I found such as clear, rehash, modify using Matlab gui. nothing worked. Please tell me how to get my jupyter notebook to flush the cache and pick up the new .m file.

One Clarifying question, are you using jupyter matlab proxy?

[Bruce Ho]

not sure what you mean by proxy. this is the instruction I followed for installation.

[Walter Roberson]

Have you experimented with using "clear" and the name of the file being modified (without the extension) ? That should remove any caching of the file.

[Bruce Ho]

yes you can see in my original post, that I have tried clear.

Hello,

To my understanding you are trying too many things related to MATLAB. I would recommand you to just try to restarting jupyter service and try again.

Hope it helps

[Bruce Ho]

no sir. I certainly have tried that multiple times. Has anyone actually done this successfully?

I don't think "trying too many things related to MATLAB" is any thing more than your opinion. I do these things because they are needed in my environment.
