MATLAB: How to teardown fixture while using a TestCase obj in interactive mode

Question

I found matlab.unittest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse extremely useful for development and debugging of test cases written for matlab.unittest.TestCase.

But if I use applyFixture method of a test method of such a TestCase obj that is in interattive mode by forInteractiveUse, how do I teardown the fixture? Simply deleting the TestCase won't does it, will it?

For example, say I have a TestCase class like this:

   classdef testcase1 < matlab.unittest.TestCase
     methods (Test)
       function testmethod1(testCase)
         testCase.applyFixture(thisfixture);
         % blah, blah, blah
       end
     end
   end

Then, for development, I excute the following command:

   testCase = testcase1; testCase.forInteractiveUse;

Then I can evaluate anything within the TestCase just like a script. However, in case a test method uses matlab.unittest.fixtures.Fixture for setup, I would like to do this:

   testCase.applyFixture(fixtureforthis);

Then I can comfortablly evaluate/debug the rest of code in the test method. My question is how can I get out of this state. How can I invoke teardown method of the fixture thisfixture while in interactive mode?

Answer 1

Actually, deletion of the testcase1 object testCase does invoke the teadown method. Thus, combinatory use of forInteractiveUse and appyFixture is very efficient.
