Xdegbug v3 config

Local Add-ons Xdebug + VS Code
1

I’m new to local and was configuring xdebug with phpstorm.
It auto installed xdebug 3 which wasn’t working propperly.
After trying a bunch of stuff I got it working when changing a few php,ini settings:

old

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=Off
xdebug.remote_port="9000"
xdebug.profiler_enable=0

new

xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes

And now it’s working properly ( I didn’t add the auto config of the add-on)
I’m on Ubuntu 21.04

More details here: https://xdebug.org/docs/upgrade_guide#changed-"xdebug.remote_autostart

Wow, thank you. Changing my ini file to these settings worked. Good grief it was a nightmare getting this to work with PHP 8.

@janw.me Thanks so much for this - I’ve just spent 2+ hours trawling every post and page I can find to try and get Xdebug working and this worked perfectly. I’m on MacOS and it’s all working in VS Code and Nova
