[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52582] Dependent constant properties in classdef errors: no such file

[avlas]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #52582 (project octave):

I'm having a similar (if not the same) issue in Octave 5.1, with the following
example that uses the license to check the backend engine, whether Matlab or
Octave:

classdef testL
    properties
      engine
    end
    properties(Constant=true, Hidden=true, Access=private)
        isMatlab = testL.f_isMatlab()
    end
    methods
        function obj = testL()
            if testL.isMatlab
                obj.engine = 'matlab';
            else
                obj.engine = 'octave';
            end
        end
    end
    methods(Static=true, Hidden=true)
        function bool = f_isMatlab()
            LIC = license('inuse');
            bool = strcmp(LIC.feature,'matlab');
        end
    end
end

This works in Matlab, but in Octave I get an analogous error to the one
reported in this thread:

x = testL()
error: no such file, 'testL.m'

[ I apologize if adding another example is not useful and just adds noise ]
