Incomplete MATLAB syntax cause JMP to hang on macOS

Background

Currently on macOS, submitting any incomplete MATLAB syntax can cause JMP to hang. The hang experienced by JMP is the result of MATLAB getting stuck in a waiting state.

For example, a user submits the following MATLAB syntax via MATLAB Submit(). Note the *]* is missing in the malformed MATLAB expression. 

 

 

MATLAB Init();

Matlab Submit("
    a = [5;5;5
");

 

 

As a result, MATLAB gets stuck waiting for the syntax to complete, causing JMP to hang. Users must force-quit JMP once it enters this hanging state, potentially losing any unsaved changes.

 

Recommendation

Test any MATLAB code in MATLAB before submitting it via JMP MATLAB functions. Save any unsaved files opened in JMP before submitting any MATLAB via JMP MATLAB functions.
