Enforcing naming conventions with a custom codeAnalyz​erConfigur​ation.json

I'm using R2024b (24.2.0.2863752 (R2024b) Update 5), and I'm trying to implement the enforcement of naming conventions for methods, functions, etc. in my code base, so I've been referencing the configuring the code analyzer help page. I've just tried using the sample configuration as-is, and it appears that the code analyzer is not picking up on names which are non-compliant. See here this snippet for my class timeDomainSimulation.m:

classdef timeDomainSimulation

properties

model (1,1) cochlearModel

noiseStrength (1,1) double {mustBeNonnegative}

timeParams (1,1) timeDomainSimulationParameters

spectrum (1,1) welchSpectrum

end

end

I'm not entirely sure what's going on - when I used the matlab.codeanalysis.validateConfiguration function, it seemed to indicate that the "naming" field was invalid, but in all the documentation, it seems that this is what the name of the field is. I also tried changing the severity of "NOANS" and that seemed to work. I'm not sure if this a bug or if I'm just misunderstanding something

Thanks,

Compare the documentation page you linked (which is for the current release, which right now is release R2025a) with the version of that page from the release you're using, release R2024b. Nowhere on the R2024b version of the page does the word "naming" appear.

Looking at the Release Notes that mention "code analyzer", one of the entries in the release R2025a section (Code Analyzer: Configure Custom Naming Conventions for MATLAB identifiers) seems relevant.

So this doesn't seem to be a bug. You're just trying to use functionality that was introduced in a newer release than the one you're using.
