Document `matlabroot` output
It would be convenient to have an option to export the configured MATLAB install directory as an environment variable. It's useful when linking against MATLALB when developing an add-on. AFAICT, right now you kinda have to guess (on Linux at least).
MATLAB 2023b is located at /opt/hostedtoolcache/MATLAB/2023.2.999/x64
The action has a matlabroot output that contains the path to the MATLAB root folder.
- name: Setup MATLAB
id: setup-matlab
uses: matlab-actions/setup-matlab@v2
- name: Print MATLAB root folder directly
run: echo ${{ steps.setup-matlab.outputs.matlabroot }}
- name: Print MATLAB root folder from env var
env:
MATLAB_ROOT: ${{ steps.setup-matlab.outputs.matlabroot }}
run: echo $MATLAB_ROOT
I will keep this issue open as a reminder for us to document this output.
Thanks @mcafaro, that's exactly what I'm looking for!
