MATLAB settings - stop if errors

Question

I found the "always stop on error (dbstop if error)" to be very useful when I debug MATLAB code.
However, closing matlab also resets it to "Never stop if error"

How can I make this setting persist?

Answer 1

You could use the startup.m file to recreate your settings at startup. See here for more details.

Answer 2

This is the solution indeed - further digging in Mathworks brought up the exact details:

In the default folder typing

edit startup.m

And then writing

dbstop if error
