xdebug in phpstorm and docker

Question

I managed to get xdebug in combination with docker and phpstorm. For http calls...IE

http://192.168.99.100:8081/?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=PHPSTORM

But when I try to run my phpunit tests, It does not connect with phpstorm

I did the correct directory mapping right in phpstorm, and also ran the following on my docker-instance export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=PHPSTORM"

I also tried on my docker: export PHP_IDE_CONFIG='serverName=web.docker'and named the server config on phpstorm web.docker . still working over http but not CLI

So can I get phpstorm and xdebug working together for command line too?

here is my file: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini

zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_host=172.17.42.1
dxdebug.remote_autostart=1

When I turn on logging, and play with the xdebug_remote_host IP adress I get

W: Remote address not found, connecting to configured address/port: localhost:9000. :-|
E: Could not connect to client. :-(

Solution (edit) By turning on the xdebug logging, I saw it was succesfully connecting to 192.168.99.1 so this solved the issue

xdebug.remote_host=192.168.99.1

For remote debug IDE uses server/host name as unique id to decide what path mappings to use (PHP | Servers). For CLI debug such info is not provided (nowhere to take from) so you need to provide it manually (similar to what you did with idekey) -- serverName=ServerNameHere.

I did not 100% understand your hint, but anyway I tried on my docker: export PHP_IDE_CONFIG='serverName=web.docker'and named the server config on phpstorm web.docker . still working over http but not CLI — Confidence

1) You can read about remote CLI debug / that serverName param here 2) What's your PHP | Servers looks like (screenshot please) 3) Before debugging PHPUnit .. try debugging simple script (place it in your project root; both local and remote of course) -- at least you will guarantee that it's not working debug overall and not phpunit specific moment. 4) What xdebug log says about this unsuccessful attempt (make sure it's clear/has only this request details) — LazyOne

Some manual -- could be useful: confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/… (not docker specific -- just about CLI debug in general) — LazyOne

yeah I followed this guideline. I tried a very simple echo script in root public folder.....again...works fine in HTTP but not CLI. Here is a screen of my php storm server settings prntscr.com/8pgsqt — Confidence

Two things come to my mind right now:

Is xdebug.remote_host set correctly? For the HTTP Link you provided a 192.168. address, for the way back it's a 172.17. address. Can you ping your host on that IP?
In your ini file it reads:
```
dxdebug.remote_autostart=1
```
Is this just a typo here, or is that actually in your config file? Because it should read xdebug without the "d" in front of it. It should be:
```
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
```
You should only add the d when you add the option when executing the script like this:
```
php -dxdebug.remote_autostart=1 script.php
```

If that doesn't help yet, please enable the remote log by adding something like this to the config:

xdebug.remote_log = /var/log/xdebug_remote.log

maybe that'll help to find the problem.

thanks Pampy, your hint with turning off the logging showed it was connecting to the following IP xdebug.remote_host=192.168.99.1 so by setting it, everything is fine now.

What worked for me is ssh tunnel with this configuration xdebug.remote_connect_back=0 xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1

See: Xdebug with SSH tunnel on Docker for Mac

Since Docker-17.06, you can access services hosted on Mac inside Container, via the static host name: docker.for.mac.localhost
