MATLAB : Add path of parent directory containing a class, called from a child directory

Hi all,

I have a directory 'C:\Users\Documents\VALID_AUTO\Generator' containing files (.m) and among them a Class named 'SignalStructureProperty'. In this directory, I have created a folder named 'C:\Users\Documents\VALID_AUTO\Generator\G_UnitTest'. From G_UnitTest, I have a script that tries to create the object signalStructureProperty = SignalStructureProperty. But running this script I have a Matlab message :

Undefined function or variable 'SignalStructureProperty'

I don't know how I can make Matlab understand that he should add the parent path of G_UnitTest, without giving an absolute path but relative to the G_UnitTest path, so that he could then "know" the class I want to instantiate.

Thanks in advance

What's wrong with using the absolute path?

myPath = mfilename('fullpath');
myParentPath = fileparts(myPath);
oldPath = addpath(myParentPath, '-end')
... your tests
path(oldPath);  % Restore original path
