Wrong page numbers in report generator

Hello I am generating a Report with loops creating Chapters and Sections. However everytime a chapter is created, the page number goes back to 1. Is this a normal behavior?

[Sean de Wolski]

No. That's not normal. Can you provide repro steps?

Ok so basically what I do is I have a loop creating a new chapter at each iteration. The GetDocument function returns a chapter object.

I tried to clear ChapterTests as you can see in comments because I thought maybe some properties weren't overwritten by the new chapter but it didn't work...

for i = 22:length(txt)
    
    % defining the variables
    ScriptName          = char(txt(i,1));   
    ControlSheet        = char(txt(i,2));  
    TestFile            = char(txt(i,6));  
    
    % get the data from the test
    disp(ScriptName);
    ChapterTests = GetDocument(path, folder, ScriptName, ControlSheet, TestFile, NumberOfGeneralExamples, NumberOfPASSExamples);

    add(rpt, ChapterTests);
    %clear ChapterTests
end

A bug exists in R2017b that causes every chapter to begin on page 1. This bug was fixed in R2018, R2018a_update2, and R2017b_update7.

Thank you, I have the 9.4.0.813654 (R2018a) version, is it included in the R2018a Update 2 release?

Answer 2

[Paul Kinnucan]

Yes.

[Jack Arnoldi]

So do you know anything else that could cause this problem?

[Paul Kinnucan]

Did you download R2018a_update2? This update should fix the issue that causes the problem. If not, please provide a minimal script to reproduce the problem, i.e., a script that generates two chapters.

[Jack Arnoldi]

I'm not on my personal computer so I can't install whatever I want, however you just told me my version was included in the update2 so I shouldn't need to install it?

But I will try to install the package.

[Jack Arnoldi]

Well, I managed to install the version and now the problem is solved, thank you!
