Breakpoints not working [message #551482]

Im working on a drupal project in linux mint. I had been developing it in windows and I was using the Eclipse Helios release for windows. I switched development over to linux mint a few days ago and was using Helios again. However debugging is not working as the debugger doesn't stop at any breakpoints. Im using xdebug but zend debugger doesn't work either.

xdebug is setup correctly with apache and is showing up in phpinfo() so that's not an issue.

Any ideas how to get these breakpoints working? Or does xdebug just not work with Eclipse Helios?

In case someone else has this problem, I fixed it by adding this to php.ini

xdebug.remote_autostart=off

I haven't a clue what it does or why it works but it does. Found it on another thread on this forum.

maybe try clearing out all your breakpoints and recreating them.
Alternatively use xdebug and generate an xdebug log to see what PDT is
sending to it in terms of breakpoints (ie filenames and line numbers)

I got a similar issue.
I upgraded my eclipse pdt galileo to the newest helios.
I was using xdebug on a joomla project.
My galileo was working well and stopping on breakpoints without any problems, but on the helios release, with exactly the same configuration it was impossible to stop on any breakpoint, the same for "break at first line".
The breakpoints were set on the project one month ago with galileo on debug mode.
I spent many hours to check the configuration, reinstall eclipse helios and then started to be crazy and looking for a secret hidden new function for breakpoint on this helios release.
xdebug.remote_autostart was set to 0 (default value).

Then I try the Dave trick to delete all breakpoints and recreate them...and now it's work like a charm...
So it's seems the helios release was not able to manage the breakpoints set by a previous version.

PS: after I redo the breakpoints on helios, I check again on galileo and these new ones are still working.

Hope this could help somebody else.

For me eclipse (Helios) stops at breakpoints ONLY when debugging "as a PHP Script", but not when debugging "as a Web Page".

When debugging as a web page, it looks like the correct debug query string to start a debug session is getting tacked on to the url, like so:

http://localhost/hello.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP &KEY=129798139020511

but elipse does not stop at the breakpoints. It just zooms thru the code and displays the output in the browser.

This is my xdebug configuration in php.ini that works for Galileo, but is not working for Helios: (click here to see my entire xdebug config settings)

;extension=xdebug.so <-- is this needed?
zend_extension=" /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-no n-zts-20090626/xdebug.so "
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=

; to enable remote debugging
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

Can you post your xdebug configuration that works for Helios? If possible, can you post the xdebug portion of your phpinfo() output? Would like to compare settings of an xdebug configuration that works on Helios with what I have.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have this in my php.ini:
[Xdebug]
;zend_extension_ts=3D"./ext/php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.2.dll"
;zend_extension_ts=3D"./ext/php_xdebug-2.1.0beta2-5.2-vc6.dll "
;zend_extension_ts=3D"./ext/php_xdebug-2.1dev-5.2-vc6.dll"
;zend_extension_ts=3D"./ext/php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.2-vc6.dll"
zend_extension=3D"./ext/php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=3D"1"
xdebug.remote_host=3D"localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=3D9000
xdebug.remote_handler=3Ddbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=3Dreq
xdebug.idekey=3D"ECLIPSE_DBGP"
;xdebug.remote_autostart=3Don
;xdebug.remote_mode=3D"jit"
;xdebug.remote_log=3D"C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\xdebug.log"
;xdebug.default_enable=3DOff
;xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger=3Don
;xdebug.profiler_output_dir=3D"./profiler"
;xdebug.profiler_output_name=3D"cachegrind.out.%t"
;xdebug.idekey=3Ddefault

and it works without any problems.

And I'm using XDebug Helper Firefox extension, so debugging is very simpl=

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu with Galileo and the very latest XDebug, apache 2.2.16, and php 5.3.3.

I can debug CLI just fine, but debug as web page just results in eclipse launching firefox and ripping through the entire script without any breakpoints. Being a noob, I'm also a bit confused by the manifold options like server paths and using Apache at localhost versus the supposed built-in PDT default server. I'd like to permanently disable the built-in PDT server (if any).

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Turning off xdebug.remote_enable also worked for me, using the latest WAMP and the latest Helios download from Zend website October 2011.

Finally I got Eclipse PDT to stop at break point after two days struggle.
Steps taken :
- Load php_xdebug version , non thread safe
- Change zend_extension in php.ini with remote_enable=true as suggested.
- Check again by phpinfo() if Xdebug is informed. Also check if the options changed correctly.
- Check version of Eclipse not Helios, and not be a version 64bits. I had to drop Helios and use the Juno instead.

- Make the web application accessible from web.
- Configure the Preferences of Debug , note of Path Mapping must set.
