[#169] - Enabling PHPStorms XDEBUG for windows

Success

User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:

Using PHPStorms XDEBUG seems to be a bit tricky, as what I'm heared. Now I've found a solution that works for me, and on windows.

Testing:

Set in Storm a breakpoint (e.g. in RoboFile.php), and switch the debugger-listening 'on'. Open a CMD-Window and go to your weblinks-directory and calli once vendor\bin\debug, before run the tests. Script should stop at the breakpoint, and the debuger should behave normal.

As I'm using XDEBUG with all 'defaults' settings, it works for me. Maybe you have to adjust the settings in debug.bat to your xdebug configuration.

I've previously tried to add this to the RoboFile.ini as a confirguration parameter (and settet that in RoboFile.php in getConfiguration per $this->_execute($configuration['debugerSettings']);) but it wont work that way.

And if it works for windows users, there's a similar simple solution for Linux/Mac ;-)

mmm vendor/bin/ shouldn't be the folder for this since is created by composer. I think is better that we add it as you mentioned as robo command.

I'm not sure how it works, yet haven't tested but for that purpose in robo this same like should work:

$this->_exec('SET XDEBUG_CONFIG="remote_enable=1 remote_mode=req remote_port=9000 remote_host=127.0.0.1 remote_connect_back=0"');

actually you can create a function with a name like activatePhpstormXdebug passing the values: port, host, ... but in anycase, I don't see it as something to be used by all the users. Instead you can create your on rob task and create a package in Packagist to be used by anyone, loading it via composer.json. See for example: https://packagist.org/packages/joomla-projects/robo
