Pkg.test() fails about mex.jl

[taylormcd]

What MATLAB release are you using? One of this packages dependencies, MATLAB.jl doesn't work with 2022a and 2022b.

I have some automated tests that passed a year ago but fail now with the newer versions of MATLAB.

The latest versions of MATLAB (2022a and 2022b) and Julia (v1.8) don't appear to work with this package.

The automatic tests currently work with MATLAB 2021b and Julia 1.6. Perhaps try that combination? Or you could try using https://github.com/jondeuce/MATDaemon.jl

I should note that while calling into Julia works pretty well, calling back into MATLAB (which automatically occurs when Julia catches an error) seems to inevitably lead to a segfault when using this package, although it doesn't happen immediately. I was never really able to find out the reason why when I was working actively on this package.

Thanks for the quick reply @taylormcd. I am using Matlab 2019b. MATLAB.jl runs smoothly, its only Mex where the tests fail, so I believe the problem lies there.
I want to use Matlab's optimization function fmincon, and I was trying to use Fmincon.jl (https://github.com/byuflowlab/Fmincon.jl) to port from Julia to Matlab, for that I need Mex.

I can confirm that the master branch (i.e. dev Mex) works on Linux with MATLAB 2021b and Julia 1.8.

I also tested to make sure Fmincon.jl still works, though I did make a small edit.
