CODEGEN requires a MATLAB Coder license.

He, I'm playing around with the CircleCI for a Matlab toolkit I've written: https://github.com/BJCaasenbrood/SorotokiCode

Currently, I'm using the following .circleci/config.yml:

version: '2.1'
orbs:
  matlab: mathworks/matlab@0
jobs:
  build:
    machine:
      image: ubuntu-2204:2022.07.1
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: git clone https://github.com/mobeets/mpm.git temp
      - run: mv temp/mpm.m . & mv temp/mpm_config.m . & mv temp/mpm_nls.mat . & mkdir mpm-packages
      - run: rm -rf temp
      - matlab/install
      - matlab/run-command:
          command: sorotoki -i --approve; sorotoki -b --approve; y = sorotoki('-t');

sorotoki -b --approve runs a script that builds .mex files, but I get the message: CODEGEN requires a MATLAB Coder license. The error message is clear, but when running ver I do see the Matlab coder as part of the installed toolboxes:

Any workaround?

Hi @BJCaasenbrood,

Thanks for looking into our CircleCI orb!

While most products are there, not all products are licensed, even for public repositories. In particular what we call transformation products (like Coders and Compilers) are not available with the free licensing that comes along with public repositories.

If you already have a dedicated license for your CI builds, you can possibly use that for your CircleCI jobs (may require Client Access Licenses) and these can remain public or they can be applied to private repos as well or in addition. Is this something you would be interested in? If so, send an email to continuous-integration@mathworks.com along with the output of the ver command in MATLAB (this helps us find your account team).

Thanks!
Andy

Hi Andy. I'll look into it, and thanks for the quick reply!

@BJCaasenbrood are you working with an academic license? If so it may be easier for you to leverage this approach. Definitely encourage you to send us an email and we can help with getting this going.

@acampbel Yes, I do possess an academic MATLAB license (currently). I've reached out to continuous-integration@mathworks.com regarding the inquiry. I'll keep you up-to-date.
