[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31080] User scripts or functions created during a session on Windows are not found

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #43, bug #31080 (project octave):

Re-starting Octave isn't the solution. I just wanted to see if it is something
intrinsic to that file or folder...

Re-reading the discussion, it looks like rehash uses some logic to only
re-scan the folders of which it thinks that they have changed.
Does re-creating the load path cache completely with `path(path())` help? (I
hope that doesn't use some clever tricks to avoid rehashing paths it thinks it
already knows...)

Additionally, IIUC, Mike's suspicion was that the modification date of the
parent directory doesn't change. Could you try something like the following in
a directory that doesn't contain a 'test1.m' file and show the results here?

format long
which test1
stat('.')
fclose(fopen('test1.m', 'w'));
stat('.')
which test1
