I regularly use xdebug to debug applications, I've built a laravel application that takes an upload of a csv inserts the data to the database and the ids to a job queue.
I've written an artisan command to be run via cron to then do something with this data.
Xdebug works for accessing the site via the browser, but its not breaking on breakpoints when ran from cli.
I run php5-fpm. My files /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
and /etc/php5/cli/php/ini
both contain the following settings:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.idekey = 'dev_docker'
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = {{my host ip}}
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
I then run the artisan command
php artisan jobqueue::process --batch-size=10 --sleep=10
I know the command is running as ->info('text') is displayed in the terminal
Anyone know what I'm missing?
Maybe this will help someone.
In short I had the same problem but I didn't have luck with accepted answer. My solution is to run this from the command line:
php -dxdebug.remote_enable=1 -dxdebug.remote_autostart=on -dxdebug.remote_mode=req -dxdebug.remote_port=9000 -dxdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 artisan my:command
