[SOLVED] Is it possible to store PHP debug configuration on a per project basis? [message #1795675]

I'm not very familiar with Eclipse but my team is developing a PHP application with it.

My setup is as follows: we use SVN for version control and I have created an Eclispe project per branch. I have been able to create a debug configuration for each project/branches.

However if I have 10 projects/branches, I will have 10 debug configurations which is sometimes confusing (for instance, I may mistakenly choose "debug branch 1" while working on branch 2).

If I understand correctly, it is possible to store Java launch configuration on per project basis but I haven't find this for PHP Web Application. Is it possible ?

Another option would be to have only one working copy (and project) and use `svn switch` to change the branch. Does anyone use such a setup ?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu

Any launch configuration can be stored on project level. Just export it and put somewhere in project (can be subdir). Eclipse will find it and list on debu/run page.

Hello,

Glad to ear that.

I have found the launch configuration (XML files in $WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches) but if I'm correct, moving them in the project directory is not enough (they are not shown when opening the project). Is there a trick to export them ?

Hello,

I think I found a way to do what I want: when editing the debug/launch configuration, in the "Common" tab, I choose Save as -> Shared file and store the configuration in the project (I put it in .settings); the XML file is moved inside the directory and accessible only when opened. The UI is a bit confusing.

Does it seem correct ?
