For this example, we will use the Docker installation as well as the Symfony 5 setup described in another article: Article Docker, Symfony 5
Creating an alias for the IP used
On MacOS, it is necessary to create an alias for the IP we use. It is common to use the IP:
10.254.254.254
The command is as follows:
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 10.254.254.254
If you want it on every restart of the computer, thanks to @ralphschindler on GitHub, this is very simple to do by following his article https://gist.github.com/ralphschindler/535dc5916ccbd06f53c1b0ee5a868c93
Beware, the configuration of xdebug in his article concerns version 2.
The command is as follows
sudo curl -o /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ralphschindler.docker_10254_alias.plist https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ralphschindler/535dc5916ccbd06f53c1b0ee5a868c93/raw/com.ralphschindler.docker_10254_alias.plist
Creating the xdebug configuration file
With the arrival of version 3 of xdebug, many configuration keys have been renamed.
In the docker -> php-fpm folder, create a xdebug.ini file
zend_extension=xdebug.so xdebug.mode=debug xdebug.start_with_request=yes xdebug.discover_client_host=off xdebug.client_host=10.254.254.254 xdebug.client_port=9005 xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM xdebug.max_nesting_level=1500
In the Dockerfile in the same folder, add the following command
RUN export XDEBUG_SESSION-PHPSTORM
Configuration of Phpstorm
Create a new server:
And create a new PHP remote debug with this server, indicating the key “PHPSTORM”
Once this is done, you have to go into the xdebug configuration and change the port to 9005 instead of 9000
Browser configuration
On Firefox install the add-on xdebug helper.
Once this is done, indicate that you are using PHPSTORM in the plugin configuration
