I would like matlab to enter debug mode when there is an error by calling dbstop if error, but it's not working.
In the following code for example, Matlab errors as expected but it doesn't enter debug mode. Are there any settings I should check? I don't see a debug menu.
dbstop if error
ferror123()
function ferror123() % this function errors
x = [];
x(4);
end

What happens if you use the Pause On Errors menu option instead of dbstop?

That option doesn't seem to have any effect

ferror is the name of a built-in MATLAB function (which the debugger cannot open into). I expect it is being called, rather than your function.
Try renaming your function, and I expect the debugger will be triggered.

Ok I see. And just to confirm dbstop if caught error is expected to work in cell mode? That does enter debug mode for me when I do cmd + enter.

Yes, dbstop if caught error is expected to work in cell mode -- but any line numbers reported might look strange.

if you are within a try/catch then use
dbstop if caught error

dbstop if error is only for unhandled errors when no try/catch is in effect.
dbstop if caught error is for all error cases... including "expected" errors.
What I mean by expected errors is that in order to deal with compatibility issues or with the possibility of hardware that might or might not be present, it is not uncommon for internal routines to use try/catch protecting a statement that is needed if conditions are right but can be skipped if they are not right.
As an example sometimes it is easier to code
try
delete(OldObject);
catch ME
end
rather than to code testing to see if OldObject exists and is in a deletable state

Thanks.
Any reason why dbstop if caught error would work and not dbstop if error?
