How can I access a record of the Command Window using MATLAB Grader?

I have asked learners to write a function that displays some messages to the Command Window.
In MATLAB I know I can use the diary function to access a record of the Command Window text, like this:
% Start the diary
diary CommandLog
% run the learner solution here
% Access the log then assess if correct
printOuts = fileread('CommandLog')
For some reason, this comes up as empty char in MATLAB Grader. Is there an alterative?

Could you share an example? How many outputs does their function create? How are they created?

One workaround could be to write an assessment test that calls the functions using evalc. This captures the command window output in a variable you can then use for assessment.
