How to disable xdebug during laravel installation via composer

votes

I'm installing laravel by using composer. But in command prompt screen, "You are running composer with xdebug enable. This has a major impact on runtime performance." this message is showing. I want to disable xdebug during laravel installation. Is there any problem, if xdebug is enabled in my system?

You should temporarily disable xdebug in your console's php.ini before installation dependencies with Composer:

# Set xdebug autostart to false
xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.remote_enable=0

# Disable your profiller
xdebug.profiler_enable=0

And enable it when composer install/composer update finished.

Also, you can add xdebug_disable() function in your console PHP file if you don't want to enable/disable it in php.ini each time when work with Composer:

if (function_exists('xdebug_disable')) {
    xdebug_disable();
}

I'm using Laravel Homestead, I created a couple of aliases for turning on/off Xdebug quickly, and I use them before/after heavy composer commands, something like this:

$ xdebug_off # Disable Xdebug
  ...
$ composer heavy-load stuff
  ...
$ xdebug_on # Enable Xdebug
  ...

Once you are inside your box (after vagrant ssh), add these aliases to you ~/.profile file:

# Xdebug aliases
alias xdebug_on='sudo phpenmod xdebug; sudo service php7.0-fpm restart;'
alias xdebug_off='sudo phpdismod xdebug; sudo service php7.0-fpm restart;'

If you do this a lot, you can use my shortcut, fire this command on your virtual machine: 

curl -LsS https://git.io/vrc3y  >> ~/.profile; source ~/.profile
