[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42710] fieldnames() fails for classnames in java dynamic classpath

[Carnë Draug]

Update of bug #42710 (project octave):

                 Summary: fieldnames() fails for java classes in dynamic
classpath => fieldnames() fails for classnames in java dynamic classpath

Follow-up Comment #1:

I pushed this http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b2c4f869ff7c

which will fix the original bug. While fixing this, I noticed that it will
still fails if a classname from the dynamic classpath is used (I think this is
an Octave only feature, Matlab seems to not accept strings as input for
fieldnames).

So:


$ wget
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.0.2/artifacts/loci_tools.jar
[...]
$ octave
octave-gui:1> javaaddpath ("./loci_tools.jar" );
octave-gui:2> r = javaObject ("loci.formats.in.ZipReader");
octave-gui:3> fieldnames (r) # this now works
ans = 
{
  [1,1] = MUST_GROUP
  [1,2] = CAN_GROUP
  [1,3] = CANNOT_GROUP
  [1,4] = COMPRESSION_SUFFIXES
}
octave-gui:4> class (r)
ans = loci.formats.in.ZipReader
octave-gui:5> fieldnames (class (r)) # this continues to fail
error: [java] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: loci.formats.in.ZipReader
error: called from
    fieldnames at line 57 column 15
