Dear Jonathan,

I am running Doom Emacs and had the same issue. The problem is that the temporary output should be removed, but the lines in the shell-buffer have a special read-only mode. The work-around is to set `inhibit-read-only`.

So what solved it:

(defadvice! inhibit-real-only-a (oldfun &rest r)
 "Temporary remove read-only lines in shell buffer"
 :around#'matlab-shell-collect-command-output
     (let ((inhibit-read-only t)) (apply oldfun r)))

Best regards,
Haik

Hi Jonathan,

I tried using:

M-x matlab-shell RET
M-x company-mode RET

then @ matlab prompt:

 >> fo

M-x company-matlab-shell RET

to simulate what you have in your stack trace below. I get a yellow popup with completions I expect in it. I can pick one and it then
inserts the completion correctly.

I tried this in Emacs 26.3 as installed by Ubuntu, and also 28.0.50 as
downloaded from git yesterday morning.

I tend to run my Emacs as stock as possible so I don't accidentally create dependencies on random tools, so I'm not familiar with a more
complex company mode setup.

Due to the nature of using MATLAB Shell, I recommend looking at the value of `comint-prompt-read-only' to see if that might be involved. It is nil by default in my Emacsen, and matlab-shell doesn't set it because I do a lot of fiddling with the buffer in the background. If it were t, I would imagine a range of other things not working either though.

That's pretty much all I can think of. Sorry I can't be more helpful. :(
Eric

Hi,
I'm still getting the same error message with the updated version of
the repository...
the stack trace I get is:
```
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Company: backend

  company-begin-backend(company-matlab-shell)
  company-matlab-shell(interactive)
  funcall-interactively(company-matlab-shell interactive)
```

and the output in the console is:

```
>> emacsdocomplete('all')

emacs_completions_output =

  java.lang.String[]:

    'all'
    'allchild'
    'allElectrodes'
    'allfeasible'
    'allMuPADNotebooks'

```

which is the same output that I get by running  M-x
matlab-complete-symbol, if that helps to make sense of things.

Thanks,
Jonathan
