After updating R2020a update 3, a warning pop up

After I updated my R2020a update 2 to update 3, a warning "Unrecognized function or variable 'matlab.internal.addons.updates.fileexchangeaddon.getTypeFromPackageInfoUrl'."

Please help me how to solve it.

Thanks.

[Evangelos Rozos]

It must be a bug. I have a crazy problem that must be related. I get "Unrecognized function or variable 'normxcorr2'." when normxcorr2 is called from within a function. However, normxcorr2 works OK when called from command prompt. I have installed MATLAB on drive D: and the project is in drive C:.

I have the same problem and submitted a support request (and referenced this thread). Can you paste the output of 'ver'? Here's mine (formated as commented code just to get monospace font).

Maybe the error is caused by a particular toolbox?

[ANIL LAMICHHANE]

I do have the same problem as reported by Ka Ming Cheng . Anyone help me please.

[Micke Malmström]

after 3 reeboots of the Matlab-app the error msg disapeared for me...

[Ka Ming Cheng]

Here is the my MATLAB version and installed toolboxes.

Answer 1

[Erich]

This is the response I got from MathWorks support:

"Thanks for sharing the information. Our development team has been aware of this error message and it will be fixed in MATLAB R2020a Update 4. This error message won't affect your ability of using MATLAB, so please ignore it for now."

[Brad]

The error persists in R2020a Update 4.

[Rishabh Anand]

The error is present even in R2020a update 6, however I solved it by re-installing matlab.

Answer 2

[Rishabh Anand]

The error is present even in R2020a update 6, however I solved it by re-installing matlab.

Answer 3

[Brad]

I had the same issue. I was able to fix the problem by entering a few simple commands (shown below). Note this process will reset MATLAB's path settings to factory default, so you may want to backup your current path like so:

>> savepath([pwd filesep 'pathbackup.m'])

To fix the warning message issue, enter the following commands...

>> rehash toolboxcache
>> restoredefaultpath
>> savepath
>> exit

The exit command will close MATLAB. After the program shuts down, restart MATLAB; the warning message should no longer appear. Upvote if it works! Comment if not!

[Erich]

Brad,

I did not need to take any of the steps you described. For me, updating to R2020a Update 4 was enough to get rid of the error message.
