Matlab2019b Kernel doesn't run

[tamelenak]

Hi there

I'm trying to start a MATLAB R2019b kernel in Jupyter. I don't have any errors, it says that the kernel is connected, but it doesn't run (cells stays with a "*").

When I type python -m matlab_kernel.check from terminal, I have the following output:
_Matlab kernel v0.16.7
Metakernel v0.24.3
Python v3.7.4 (default, Aug 13 2019, 15:17:50)
[Clang 4.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_401/final)]
Python path: /Users/tamara/opt/anaconda3/bin/python

Connecting to Matlab...
Matlab connection established
Matlab Kernel_

I installed the matlab engine with the following tutorial: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-the-matlab-engine-for-python.html

When I open a Jupyter session with a Python kernel, the command import matlab.engine works, but for engine = matlab.engine.start_matlab() the cell stays again with a "*".

Any help is appreciated.

I think you need to make sure that the matlab_kernel is using the same kernel, /Users/tamara/opt/anaconda3/bin/python.

How can I do that?

@tamikk I've been using this kernel (latest commit) with matlab 2019b for the past month with no issues. I'm confused as to why you are opening a jupyter session with a python kernel instead of a matlab kernel?
