I can't use Document command to generate a Report

[Cris LaPierre]

What is the result when you run the following in your command window?

which mlreportgen.dom.Document

Hi!

[Cris LaPierre]

What happens when you don't try to use a custom template? Can you successfully run this example?

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
d = Document('mydoc','docx');

append(d,'Hello World');

close(d);
rptview(d.OutputPath);

Hi, it works!

so, it means that i can't use a custom template? =(

Thanks!

[Junior Joel Aguilar Hancco]

Sorry, I don't know what happened but I can't see your last reply again. But you mentioned that it could be the syntax, however I was guided by a mathworks tutorial on generating reports.

maybe, is my Matlab version? 2020a

With the documentation example working, try using your template again. Do you still get the same error?

If so, how did you create your template? What happens if you create your template using

mlreportgen.dom.Document.createTemplate?

[Junior Joel Aguilar Hancco]

Hi, it works fine now! thanks a lot. So, i suppose that i have to create the document with code as a first step, rigth?

[Cris LaPierre]

I just worked through the example in the video you shared, and it worked fine for me. Perhaps you just needed to restart MATLAB?

The issue in the non-working script is that it has a typo in the package import statement, which is the reason it is not able to recognize the Document class.

Change:

import mireportgen.dom.*;

to

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

I think that confirm I need glasses :)

me too! =) Thanks @Rahul Singhal !
