[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62001] feval does not work for static class methods (does on Matlab)

[Richard]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62001 (project octave):

It is perhaps a separate bug report, but I also came across this weird
behavior while testing:


classdef test_feval_static_method_with_name_test

    methods (Static)

        function x = test ()

            x = 1;

        end

    end

end




octave:11> test_feval_static_method_with_name_test.test
ans = 1.0000e+000
octave:12> feval ('test_feval_static_method_with_name_test.test')
error: Invalid call to test.  Correct usage is:

 -- test NAME
 -- test NAME quiet|normal|verbose
 -- test ("NAME", "quiet|normal|verbose", FID)
 -- test ("NAME", "quiet|normal|verbose", FNAME)
 -- SUCCESS = test (...)
 -- [N, NMAX, NXFAIL, NBUG, NSKIP, NRTSKIP, NREGRESSION] = test (...)
 -- [CODE, IDX] = test ("NAME", "grabdemo")
 -- test ([], "explain", FID)
 -- test ([], "explain", FNAME)

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the online version of the manual.  Use the command
'doc <topic>' to search the manual index.
