Remote debug not working

[diomabros]

When select "Listen for XDebug", it not wait for incoming connection but run the debugger, execute the opened PHP script and stop. Any suggestions? (Excuse me for my - bad - english!)

PHP version: 8.0.1
Xdebug version: 3.0.2
VS Code extension version: 1.21.0

Xdebug php.ini config:

xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.client_port = 10000
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.discover_client_host = 1
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1

What are you clicking to "start" Listen for Xdebug?
F5? Menu? Green arrow on the left? Debug icon on the right? Can you attach a screenshot?

[diomabros]

I tried every method that you listed below. Screenshot? Appear the Debug bar and, after the execution of the open script, close itself. In Debug console I can see the result of the script.

[zobo]

The only situation ever that the PHP script gets executed should be if the program or runtimeArgs are filled with something. In you Listen for Xdebug this is not the case. Here is how I start the listen process:

Can you add the "log": true part and send me the debug console contents? Here is a video showing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLF6j5qdnvA&t=58s

[diomabros]

Log is on true. Debug console say "PHP Fatal Error: Class 'Controller' not found", but this isn't true because I use Yii framework and not be loaded if it run just opened script and not listen for incoming connections.

[zobo]

Not sure why it would start the script. Can you attach the log to your reply here?
Try to delete your launch.json and create it again.
What is the color of your VS Code bottom status bar? Blue or Purple?

[diomabros]

I just deleted lanuch.json and recreated but nothing changes. When I click start button it become orange but, after the PHP error in debug console, it return blue

Before start

During script execution

After script execution

That looks all ok.

Can you try to switch to an older version of the plugin, specifically 1.19.0

I introduced new functionality in 1.20.0 that manipulates the debug configuration config... But I have not seen it do something like this.

Do you perhaps have some other extension that could cause this?

[diomabros]

I switched to an older version of VSCode (from v1.60.0 to v1.57.1) and everything works fine now

[diomabros]

I tried also what you request and the issue came back so I think there is something wrong with VSCode version 1.60.0

[zobo]

Thanks for trying this out. So if I understand correctly the combination:

• vscode 1.60.0 + debug 1.21.0 DOES NOT WORK
• vscode 1.57.1 + debug 1.21.0 DOES WORK?

I am currently running vscode 1.61.2

[diomabros]

Exactly @zobo,

tried this combinations:

• vscode 1.60.0 + debug 1.21.0 NOT WORK
• vscode 1.57.1 + debug 1.21.0 WORK
• vscode 1.60.0 + debug 1.19.0 NOT WORK
• vscode 1.57.1 + debug 1.19.0 WORK

I'm seeing the exact same issue. I'm running code-server:
code-server: v3.12.0
VS Code: v1.60.0

I've tried xdebug versions 1.19.0 - 1.21.0

Downgrading code-server is the only way I've found to get it work again. Let me know if you need anymore info.

[zobo]

What about 1.61.0?

[diomabros]

Latest code-server version (3.12.0) has VSCode 1.60.0 so it's not possible to try with newer version

[lyonanderson]

I think it might have been reported here too: coder/code-server#4362

[zobo]

Interesting, I never tried code-server. Hopefully I'll manage to test it...

[lyonanderson]

I just tried using open code server (https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server) there are various version available. The latest ships with VSCode 1.62.0 and this works correctly with php debug 1.19.0. I tried with an earlier version VSCode 1.60.0 and it fails in the same way as above. However, VSCode 1.60.2 works fine. So perhaps it's something specific to VSCode 1.60.0?
