## Run MATLAB Command

When you define your workflow in the `.github/workflows` directory of your repository, specify the **Run MATLAB Command** action as `matlab-actions/run-command@v1`. The action requires an input.

When you define your workflow in the `.github/workflows` directory of your repository, specify the **Run MATLAB Command** action as `matlab-actions/run-command@v1`. The action requires an input and also accepts an optional input.

`command` | (Required) Script, function, or statement to execute. If the value of `command` is the name of a MATLAB script or function, do not specify the file extension. If you specify more than one script, function, or statement, use a comma or semicolon to separate them.<br/>**Example:** `myscript`<br/>**Example:** `results = runtests, assertSuccess(results);`

If you specify more than one script, function, or statement, use a comma or semicolon to separate them.<br/>MATLAB exits with exit code 0 if the specified script, function, or statement executes successfully without error. Otherwise, MATLAB terminates with a nonzero exit code, which causes the build to fail. To fail the build in certain conditions, use the [`assert`](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/assert.html) or [`error`](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/error.html) function.<br/>**Example:** `command: myscript`<br/>**Example:** `command: results = runtests, assertSuccess(results);`

`startup-options` | (Optional) MATLAB startup options. If you specify more than one option, use a space to separate them. For more information about startup options, see [Commonly Used Startup Options](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/commonly-used-startup-options.html).<br/>Using this input to specify the `-batch` or `-r` option is not supported.<br/>**Example:** `startup-options: -nojvm`<br/>**Example:** `startup-options: -nojvm -logfile "output.log"`

When you use this action, all of the required files must be on the MATLAB search path. If your script or function is not in the root of your repository, you can use the [`addpath`](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/addpath.html), [`cd`](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/cd.html), or [`run`](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/run.html) function to put it on the path. For example, to run `myscript.m` in a folder named `myfolder` located in the root of the repository, you can specify `command` like this:

## Notes
6867
* In MATLAB R2019a and later, the **Run MATLAB Command** action uses the `-batch` option to start MATLAB noninteractively. Preferences do not persist across different MATLAB sessions launched with the `-batch` option. To run code that requires the same preferences, use a single action.
