URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55457> Summary: which() and edit() don't work on functions or classes in namespaces Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: apjanke Submitted on: Sat 12 Jan 2019 06:30:35 AM UTC Category: Interpreter Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Matlab Compatibility Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.4.1 Operating System: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Let's say I have a class Baz and a function SomeFunction defined in the namespace "foo.bar". My directory structure: - +foo/ - +bar/ - Baz.m - SomeFunction.m In Matlab, you can do which('foo.bar.SomeFunction.m') or edit('foo.bar.SomeFunction') and it will locate that SomeFunction.m file under +foo/+bar. Same with the Baz.m class. In Octave, this doesn't work: octave:3> which('foo.bar.Baz') octave:4> which('foo.bar.SomeFunction') octave:5> And doing "edit" on them pops up a prompt saying "File /Users/janke/tmp/octave-test/foo.bar.Baz does not exist. Do you want to create it?" It would be nice if Octave supported addressing namespace-qualified functions and classes this way. It would make working with large codebases easier. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55457> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
