How to setup xdebug for homestead in phpstrom

I just set it up a few days ago.

Got it working by changing the xdebug config on Homestead. Then start xdebug sudo phpenmod xdebug and restart php7.3-fpm sudo service php7.3-fpm restart

zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 0
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.max_nesting_level = 512
xdebug.remote_log = /tmp/xdebug.log
xdebug.remote_host=10.0.2.2

In phpstorm I just added a configuration for a "PHP Web Page"

@sinnbeck How can I change xdebug on Homestead? Also, why the approach described in https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-remote-interpreters.html is not working?

You can change it using sudo nano /etc/php/7.3/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini

Use ctrl+x to exit and save the file.

I have no clue why their guide does not work. You should ask jetbrains that instead :)

Thanks @sinnbeck Do I need to run this cmd on vagrant ssh?

Yes all of those things should be run inside vagrant ssh :)

@sinnbeck xdebug.remote_host=10.0.2.2 Is this 127.0.0.1 or the one you have provided?

It should be the correct one. But you can easily check it inside vagrant ssh

Run this and check the ip.

last --limit=1

Mine gave me

vagrant  pts/0        10.0.2.2         Wed Nov 13 07:44   still logged in

@sinnbeck What is the configuration for a "PHP Web Page"?

1. Add PHP Web Page
2. Add server
3. Set host to the one you are using (leave port and debugger alone)
4. Check Use path mapping
5. Under project files set the path you are using in homestead in the right field (/home/vagrant/code/)
6. Click ok and ok.
7. Select the config from the dropdown and click the "bug" icon

@sinnbeck I think I am getting into this but now I am getting Debug session was finished without being paused It may be caused by path mappings misconfiguration or not synchronized local and remote projects. To figure out the problem check path mappings configuration for 'quiz.test' server at PHP|Servers or enable Break at first line in PHP scripts option (from Run menu). warning message. I have setup project files /home/vagrant/web and public /home/vagrant/web/public. but it is not debugging.

Are you sure that your code is in /home/vagrant/code? Is it in a sub folder perhaps?

@sinnbeck

folders:
 -map: D:\Tutorials\NurseProject\web\quiz
      to: /home/vagrant/web


sites:
  - map: quiz.test
     to: /home/vagrant/web/public

Not sure if thats a windows issue.

You can try removing path mapping and check "Force break at first line when no path mapping specified" in settings -> Languages-> PHP ->Debug

@sinnbeck it goes to the first line but not hitting the specified breakpoint.

Congratulations! That means it works.

It just cannot map your folder out. To hit the breakpoint you need the path mapping. Try setting it up again. You can try posting a screenshot of your configuration

Hope you got it working. If not you should get a message like this when running without path mapping. You can try posting that here
