Running a script in command line is something we frequently do in Magento 2. For example, when creating new module, we must run setup:upgrade command. We cannot see all the information we need to know.
I know many Magento developers choose PHPStorm as their favorite editor. How we can use PHPStorm to debug Magento 2 command lines?
I configured "PHP Remote Debug" in PHPStorm and just add XDEBUG_CONFIG before script to start debugging.
like XDEBUG_CONFIG=idekey=phpstorm bin/magento setup:upgrade
@KAndy’s answer put me on the right track, but I am developing locally using vagrant and had to do the following to get this to work1
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
;remote_connect_back will fail because REMOTE_ADDR header won’t be set
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.idekey = "PHPSTORM"
;remote_host is ignored when remote_connect_back is enabled & successful; fallback
;Set to your HOST MACHINE IP
xdebug.remote_host=xx.xx.xx.xx
;provides valuable insight if you can’t connect. Remove when done.
xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/xdebug.log"
Set the remote_host IP to the IP address of the host (for me, using the IP address from ifconfig on the guest machine did not work - used IP address acquired from the network settings on the host machine as the remote_host).
Settings -> Languages and Frameworks -> PHP -> Servers if you have not done so already. (See screenshot)
Run -> Edit Configurations and add a PHP Remote Debug.
Settings -> Languages and Frameworks -> PHP -> Debug Check "Break at first line in PHP Scripts" (this can help debug issues with your path mapping.)Run -> Debug Vagrant (or whatever you named your configuration in Step 2)magento setup:upgrade in my case) 1I'm using ubuntu/trusty64 for reference
after xdebug 3.0 update
Instead of setting the XDEBUG_CONFIG environment variable to idekey=PHPSTORM, you must set XDEBUG_SESSION to PHPSTORM:
export XDEBUG_MODE=debug XDEBUG_SESSION=1
