imageDatastore error in Matlab online usage

Hello!

I'm trying to use the imageDatastore as the documentation indicates:

imds = imageDatastore(fullfile(matlabroot,"toolbox","matlab"),...
"IncludeSubfolders",true,"FileExtensions",".tif","LabelSource","foldernames")

However, the following error occurs when I'm using Matlab online:

Error using imageDatastore
The first input to exist must be a string scalar or character vector.

Also, when I click over the hyperlink to the documentation, an error pop-up appears while in the command console the following is printed:

Error using split

First argument must be text.

Error in matlab.internal.doc.url.DocContentPage/splitPath (line 139)

pathParts = split(pathParts,"/"|"\")';

Error in matlab.internal.doc.url.DocContentPage/buildUrl (line 111)

helpLocation = matlab.internal.doc.url.DocContentPage.splitPath(obj.Product.HelpLocation);

Error in matlab.internal.doc.url.DocPage/getNavigationUrl (line 33)

url = obj.buildUrl;

Error in matlab.internal.doc.ui.DocPageLauncher/openDocPage (line 30)

success = openBrowser(obj.Handler, getNavigationUrl(activePage));

Error in doc (line 79)

launcher.openDocPage;

Error in helpPopup (line 18)

doc(topic);

Error in matlab.internal.language.introspective.errorDocCallback>popTopicHelp (line 67)

helpPopup(topic);

Error in matlab.internal.language.introspective.errorDocCallback (line 33)

if popTopicHelp(fileNameQualifiedTopic)

------------------------------

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

One of the possible workarounds is to provide the MATLAB toolbox path manually as a string, rather than passing it on through the “fullfile” function.

imds = imageDatastore("/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab","IncludeSubfolders",true,"FileExtensions",".tif","LabelSource","foldernames") 

In order to DEBUG this further, please follow the below mentioned procedure:

1. Make sure MATLAB online can process other normal commands.
2. On your offline machine, you can also try to locate the path of “.tif “ files mentioned in the documentation: Datastore for image data - MATLAB

I hope the above information helps you.
