How to Determine Toolbox dependency for App designer in MATLAB 2017b

Question

I have a project that is a single main app in app designer that i am using as a shell to call 3 matlab scripts and 7 app designer apps. I want to determine Toolbox dependency on the entire project, however the MATLAB documentation shows how to run dependency analysis on simulink models. I have used dependencies.toolboxDependencyAnalysis function on my matlab script files and app files but it only returns {'MATLAB'} . So is there a way to run toolbox dependency analysis in matlab for app designer ?

Answer 1

You can use the MATLAB function matlab.codetools.requiredFilesAndProducts to show all of the function dependencies and required toolboxes. For example, if you have two functions in separate files:

function a = testdep1(b)
    fprintf(1,'function testdep1\n');
    a(1) = b*2;
    a(2) = testdep2(a(1));
end

and

function c = testdep2(d)
    fprintf(1,'function testdep2\n');
    c = d/3;
end

then you can use:

[fList, pList] = matlab.codetools.requiredFilesAndProducts('testdep1')

to see the list of "program files" required (note this does not include sub-functions in the same file) and the toolboxes required.

fList =

  1×2 cell array

    {'/TEST/testdep1.m'}    {'/TEST/testdep2.m'}

pList = 

  struct with fields:

             Name: 'MATLAB'
          Version: '9.5'
    ProductNumber: 1
          Certain: 1
