Matlab Report Generator not finding .dotx file after compiling

I'm having some issues using Report Generator to create a .docx from a .dotx template in a compiled web app. It works fine in the app designer but as soon as it is compiled and on the web app server it can no longer find the template file. I have ensured that the Template.dotx file is included in the package while compiling.

The log shows

2024-04-26 14:59:15 Error using mlreportgen.dom.Document/open

2024-04-26 14:59:15 Unable to find template: Template.dotx.

[file,path] = uiputfile('*.docx', 'Analyzed', [app.name1 '_AN']);

if isequal(file,0)

disp('User selected Cancel')

else

docxname = fullfile(path,file);

end

makeDOMCompilable();

import mlreportgen.dom.*

import mlreportgen.report.*

D = Document(docxname,'docx','Template.dotx');

open(D);

moveToNextHole(D);

append(D, info);.......

close(D)

Hi Nolan,

I recently encountered a similar issue during report generation. I found that upgrading to MATLAB 2023a addressed the problem effectively. I would recommend upgrading to MATLAB 2023a to see if it resolves the issue for you as well.

Hope this helps!
