Path Mapping and remote debugging [message #531696]

Hello, I apologize for my english...

I know how to configure eclipse for local development.
But now, I need to work with project on remote systems.
I've installed RSE, I can connect with SSH.
It's really slow to open, build and refresh a project but everythigs seem to be ok.

I configured my project for remote debugging with XDebug.
But for a break point in /application/modules/... I have a message that says the file doesn't exist and the debugging is ended.
My question is:
Do I need to set all the directories in the path mapping in order to debug?
And if it's yes, Is it possible to do this automatically?

I use Eclipse for PHP Developers Build id: 20100218-1602.

Do I need to create a new server for each project with the right mapping or can i do a file and associate it for the current project?

Thanks for any help you could provide to me.

As far as I know RSE isn't supported with debug in PDT, so you are going
to come across various problems.

Hi,

Thanks for helping me.

I can debug some scripts and in the index.php it seems to work fine.
I tried to create a local project and synchronize with the remote project but it's too long and eclipse often ends with no response activity.

I'm not able to find out a good process allowing to develop remote projects, debug and synchronize.

I wasting my time.
If it's not possible to debug a remote project, Does anyone knows a better solution?

I'm testing Netbeans and I think it's a better solution. But it miss me some features that I like in Eclipse.

I hope someone will help me about this.

What process is taking too long? How You sync your projects?

Few days ago someone wrote about his scheme for remote debuging. Maybe You will
find his way much better.

Hi,
I test two different ways:
I first try to create a local project and I would like to synchronize it with the same project on a remote server.
In order to do it, I export my project. I choose the remote server, I click next and I have to wait a long (very long) time until the next button is available.
I can tick options like the location to save the export settings.

So I tried a second way:
In RSE perspective, I reached my project, right click, and create Remote project. Everything is ok and it's not too long.
But when a build start it takes more than 15min. I assumed it's necessary, I'm working on projects that contain a lot of files (zend libraries and our libraries). And verification never ends. Eclipse responds slowly.
And sometimes in the console window, I see a lot of ftp instruction. At the beginning everything seems to be ok but it never ends and errors appear. The time for a response is to long. I don't know why this occurs.
I also often have error message that pop up with no explicit meaning. I've done some checks through various forums.
I don't have enough time to check those message.

I think Eclipse is really good for local work and export files to remote server in order to test, but synchronization and remote development don't work very well.
with Netbeans, I don't have these problems. The local files are very long to import when creating the project but when I save my modifications, I don't see queued files, the debug starts as soon as I click and my modifications are taken into account.
In the 6.9, they implement a terminal window, so...

If somebody has a good way to develop PHP on remote server, I will try.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for my english.

Hi ssoares,

Here is the reason:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=295167

Pls, look at all Depends on: task recursively.

It looks like it should be much much better in Helios.

Personally I will do the same test with FTP feature, when Helios GA will be out and
I hope that the FTP feature will be as fast as Aptana's FTP feature ( which i'm using now,
but doesn't support remote debug as PDT + RSE ) or even better a few percent faster.

The best would be if RSE FTP would be so fast as is FileZilla or SmartFTP :D :D :D ( but it's only dream )

I hope that this help you.

Thanks for this information.
I'll update RSE to 3.2 and i'll try again.

But it will be for my own use. I choose Netbeans for professional use.
I'm steal testing it in odrer to compare advantages and present it to the team.

Anyway, thanks for your help everybody.
