How can I run a Matlab file with MCR (Matlab Compiler Runtime) in a Linux terminal?

I am trying to create a CI/CD pipeline with GitLab. In this CI/CD pipeline, matlab unit tests should be executed (class-based unit tests). For this pipeline I use the Matlab Runtime in a Linux docker. The Matlab Runtime is installed in the docker and the project files are also in the docker.

My Question: How can I run a matlab (*.m) file in this Linux docker with a terminal command? And is it even possible to run matlab files with the MCR?

Thanks for your help

You cannot run M-files using the MATLAB Runtime. The MATLAB Runtime is to run packages created with the MATLAB Compiler. Someone with a MATLAB license, and a MATLAB Compiler license, must compile the code so that it can run with the MATLAB Runtime.

You can start from terminal by simply using the command matlab, if the binary path is on your path variable (Documentation).

I would prefer to use it for unit tests like in this example (compatible with MATLAB R2019b).

matlab -sd "${START_DIRECTORY}" -batch "${TEST_FILE}"
