XDebug can't find my sources for remote launch [message #4015]

When I initiate a remote launch of my scripts the XDebug plugin reports
that it can't find my source.

I have a remote Linux/Apache server. The DocumentRoot is (and has to
be) set to /var/www/localhost/htdocs.

Here's the structure of my Eclipse Project

GiftCertificates [GiftCertificates/trunk]
TestHarness
TestFactory.php <--- This is what I need to execute & break at
VoucherFactory
VoucherFactory.php <--- This is included by TestFactory

The project is copied to the server as
"/var/www/localhost/htdocs/GiftCertificates"

leading to a launch URL of
"http://myserver/GiftCertificates/TestFactory.php"

I've tried just about every setting permutation for Context Root and
script I can think of but I always get a message
"Source not found for
var/www/localhost/htdocs/GiftCertificates/TestHarness/TestFa ctory.php.{main}
: lineno 2. Please add the file to the Project or Include Path in
project, or structure the files in Project/Include Path to more closely
resemble the layout of the files on the server." when I launch

I can debug my variables and step etc so it is debugging, but without
source view it's of limited value... :(

Can you suggest what I should put in the Debug Settings for this
project? If it's relevant, whatever I enter into the dialog leaves an
error message in the top of the dialog "File / Project does not exist"

BTW I'm using the PDT (RC2) "All in one" with XDebug support v0.1.3

Thanks

Hi Mark. The Xdebug implementation currently requires you to have your document
root point to your workspace, otherwise it cannot locate the source file (see enclosed
PDF user guide)

There is a "Path Mapper" version based on 0.13 available as well which was contributed
by someone else which you could try.

I saw that in the PDF but didnt realize that it was an absolute
requirement. Just to confirm then, this means that one cannot debug a
remote PHP script using this version?

I saw this in the bugzilla but didn't fully appreciate what it was. I'll
give this a shot and report back..

Hmmm, I extracted the Path Mapper version and it appears to work the
same as before. However I suspect it's not installed properly as I don't
see the mapping dialog described and there's no XDebug feature to emable
(as described). There's a jar file in the features folder, do I just
copy that to eclipse\features and run "eclipse -clean"? All else in
that folder are folders with files...

You should have a entry when you go to window -> preferences -> PHP.
There should be the option XDebug rewrite where you can enter the
rewrite rules.

If you don't have that, check if the plugin is enabled.

Thanks for that, I had misread the docs and thought the rewrite rules
were in the Debug Launch config. dialog. I now have source level
debugging working so I'll see how I get on.

I feel strongly that this project needs a fully Opensource debugging
system so if there's anything I can do to help...

Johan,

I can single step my code and evaluate variables, but my breakpoints are
being ignored. Do you have breakpoints working using XDebug with filemapper?

I am hoping that once PDT 0.7 is complete, my contribution will be accepted
and included in the PDT project.

You can vote on the bugzilla page to show your interest in the XDebug support
as well as continue to discuss it on the forum.

I fully agree that PDT should support an open source debugger as one is
available.

In my configuration I have no problems with the breakpoints. If I set a
breakpoint in the middle of a script or in an include file, he stops at
the breakpoint. I don't use break at first line.
My breakpoints were also ignored in a previous version of PDT. Currently
I'm using PDT Feature 0.70 20070130 and the xdebug feature 1.3 logik
(file mapper version).

Hope this helps.

I'm using the same s/w then. Perhaps it's to do with the way I have my
mapping set up. I have

Remote Server: Document Root = /var/www/localhost/htdocs
Workspace: C:\Documents and Settings\mark\workspace
Project: C:\Documents and Settings\mark\workspace\GiftCertificates

Launch Config
-------------
Script:/GiftCertificates/TestHarness/TestFactory.php
Server:
Context Root:GiftCertificates
Launch URL: http://drno/GiftCertificates/TestHarness/testcerts.php

FileMapping
-----------
From - c:/Documents and Settings/mark/workspace/GiftCertificates
To - var/www/localhost/htdocs/GiftCertificates

Breaking on first line works perfectly, and the correct files are opened
as I single step through the app. It's just that breakpoints are
ignored... :(

Hello Mark

The problem is probably in your mapping. I tried a little test and it
seems that the file mapper can handle spaces in the paths very well.
Can you try to use another path without spaces in it.

Still no success... :(

I now have moved my workspace to c:\tech\workspace and deleted/replaced
my breakpoint but it's still ignored....

Remote Server: Document Root = /var/www/localhost/htdocs
Workspace: C:tech\workspace
Project: C:\tech\workspace\GiftCertificates

Launch Config
-------------
Script:/GiftCertificates/TestHarness/TestFactory.php
Server:
Context Root:GiftCertificates
Launch URL: http://drno/GiftCertificates/TestHarness/testcerts.php

FileMapping
-----------
From - c:/tech/workspace/GiftCertificates
To - var/www/localhost/htdocs/GiftCertificates

I have a breakpoint set on line 4 of testcerts.php. Source mapping works
fine, as does break on first line. I've also tried including the
'TestHarness' subdir in the mapping but still no changes. Is there some
logging I can enable in the filemapper? Alternatively, how
straightforward is it to debug the filemapper code, I'm OK with working
with Java, but have never had to create anything that links to Eclipse.

Cheers

Mark

The filemapper is very sensitive regarding case and spaces etc. The
above example was fixed using the settings

From - C:/tech/workspace/GiftCertificates
To - /var/www/localhost/htdocs/GiftCertificates

i.e. 'c:' -> 'C:' and the removal of any spaces in the pathnames (both
were required)...

So, I am now happily debugging my remote Linux box via eclipse on my
Windoze PC :)

Thanks to all for the help.

Let's see, i wonder why - oh, maybe because XDebug protocol is open and the
zend debugger isn't perhaps?

Just my two cent's, I'm an a funny mood today. :)
