error running crabsort

[MaraRue]

Getting this error when trying to start crabsort:

All the packages have been newly downloaded, so is this a problem with the new MATLAB compatibility?

Thanks!

crabsort works on my computer on R2018a, so I don't think it's a compatibility issue

Running

 parallel.FevalFuture

ans = 

 FevalFuture with properties: 

                   ID: -1
             Function: []
       CreateDateTime: 
        StartDateTime: 
     Running Duration: 0 days 0h 0m 0s
                State: unavailable
                Error: 

so it looks like your parallel pool is broken in some way. can you start one using parpool?

Run this to check if parallel computing toolbox is installed:

v = ver;
pc_toolbox = any(~cellfun(@isempty, cellfun(@(x) strfind(x, 'Parallel Computing'), {v.Name},'UniformOutput', false)));
            assert(pc_toolbox, 'Parallel computing toolbox not installed!')

I was trying to download it onto Leah's computer and there were endless complications... sigh. I'll try that on her computer next time we are together. She has 2019b, so it may be different than 2018a right? Also, the latest crabsort download does not have a 'pref' file? Ugh. I feel like we will need your help to get this running. We also kept running into UIcallback errors on the lab computer. Even though I deleted the old versions and tried to download from scratch.

based on the errors you showed me, it looks like you haven't installed the parallel toolbox.

can you run this:

v = ver;
pc_toolbox = any(~cellfun(@isempty, cellfun(@(x) strfind(x, 'Parallel Computing'), {v.Name},'UniformOutput', false)));
            assert(pc_toolbox, 'Parallel computing toolbox not installed!')

update: it works on R2019b for me, so i'm pretty sure you just don't have the parallel toolbox

[MaraRue]

Ok I'll have her download the package, do you have a list of all the toolboxes needed to run crabsort? I can add it to the wiki. We were also having a bunch of other errors on other computers... But I'll try this first. Is the pref file moved or not used for the new crabsort? It definitely is missing from the current version.

the pref file will be generated when you first run crabsort...so if you're having other issues that prevent it from starting up, then you won't see the pref file

[MaraRue]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

also heads up: there is no release for crabsort anymore. you'll have to manually download it and necessary packages

see this

Assuming everything works now, re-open if this is not the case
