Xdebug laravel artisan commands

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
