Breakpoints are completely ignored when debugging CakePHP application

Question

I'm developing in NetBeans a CakePHP application and finally managed to get it connecting to XAMPP debugging sessions (PHP 5.3.1 w/ Xdebug v2.0.6-dev).

It perfectly works when launching, it does pause the application on the first line.

However any further breakpoint I set is completely ignored. It does not break nor pause; it just runs to completion.

xdebug.extended_info is set to 1 and I tried with a barefoot php project without any framework magic and there breakepoints worked as expected.

What the hack? I would like to be able to use breakpoints in (Cake)PHP.

i am curious to see if anybody comes back with an answer for this. — Randy L

me2 :) This is a major issue to me, I'm unable to debug CakePHP apps. I have the feeling it has something to do with the way Cake is including code pieces. But I'm not sure. It doesn't seem a conf issue. Would be nice to have at least a "worksforme" feedback. — sibidiba

Do you have triple checked that the execution flow is going to your breakpoint ? — Luc M

@Luc: I tried both in controller and view code. Breakpoints in views' PHP code are also valid, isn't it? — sibidiba

As per Google it's a common problem osdir.com/ml/CakePHP/2009-06/msg00879.html - but some suggested downgrading xdebug helped. Anyway you could still try to remove CakePHPs xdebug_start_code_coverage(XDEBUG_CC_UNUSED | XDEBUG_CC_DEAD_CODE); - though I'm not sured it gets activated. Otherwise try debugging with Eclipse to isolate the problem source. — mario

Try to set the webroot correct to the cake-webroot-dir in project-properties

Another thing, take a look here:
