I have been researching this for about half a day, and still have not found an answer. There are many many fixes for Eclipse PDT when it does not stop at breakpoints. None of the fixes have worked.
Here are the main points:
PHP Version 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Eclipse Luna 4.4.2
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.4.0RC2, Copyright (c) 2002-2015, by Derick Rethans
So we can see that xdebug is correctly installed and phpinfo() shows this.
here is part of my php.ini
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="/tmp/xdebug/"
xdebug.profiler_enable=on
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.extended_info=0
Some more detail:
PHP API 20151012
PHP Extension 20151012
Zend Extension 320151012
Zend Extension Build API320151012,NTS
PHP Extension Build API20151012,NTS
When I try to debug the php code, it executes all at once (correctly) without stopping at the first line or at any breakpoints or at xdebug_break().
Debug preferences indicate XDebug, php 7.0 and localhost as server. The paths are set correctly and as I mentioned the code does execute, it just does not stop at breakpoints
What else can I look for?
EDIT
I did a fresh install of Eclipse Neon. I created a brand new project in a ndw workspace with one php file with just 3 lines of code. I then went through the debug and server setups so that I have the same server and debug settings I had before the debugger stopped working. This has not changed anything.
I have noticed that after I launch a debug session, the whole script executes properly, but at the bottom of the eclipse window there is a progress where it says: Launching debug.test: (27%) and it stays at 27% and the progress bar goes back and forth.
It would seem that the problem must be related to my php config, which is logical since it began after a system upgrade.
Does anyone know how a php config can cause xdebug to silently stop working?
