How to setup XDebug with VSCode on Ubuntu on a Laravel project?

Question

I'm doing a simple laravel project and I have some code to debug but I can't make the debugging on VSCode work.

I'm on Ubuntu 19.10. I'm using VSCode insiders and Firefox with the XDebug extension. I followed the guide on xdebug.org/wizard but it didn't work.

Here is my xdebug configuration in my php.ini

[xdebug]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20180731/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.idekey = VSCODE
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Here is my launch.json

"name": "Listen for XDebug",
"type": "php",
"request": "launch",
"port": 9000

And my php -v

$ php -v
PHP 7.3.11-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 (cli) (built: Oct 24 2019 11:38:49) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.3.11, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.3.11-0ubuntu0.19.10.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.8.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2019, by Derick Rethans

I expect to be able to debug my laravel code but when I put a breakpoint in my code, it doesn't work. I am able to catch breakpoints that are in regular php files though.

I figured it out. I was using the command

php artisan serv

and accessing my server through 127.0.0.1:8000 and that was causing the isue.

You need to put the project in the /var/www/html/ folder and then access it through 127.0.0.1/yourApp/public/

You might need to add the files storage and bootstrap/cache to the webserver user: How to fix Error: laravel.log could not be opened?
