lib-phpdebug v1.0.0

Xdebug (PHP Debugger) client written in JavaScript

This project includes:

• An implementation of the DBGP Protocol:
  • Can run in the browser and on the server.
• An intelligent nodejs based DBGP proxy server:
  • Expose an async DBGP interface to the browser via socket.io.
  • Control Xdebug from the server, the browser or both at the same time.
• A Xdebug client library that connects to Xdebug directly or to the proxy server.
• A client UI showing events as they are executed used for development and testing.

NOTE: Only the core DBGP features are implemented at this time.

Usage

Requirements

• node.js & npm
• Webserver with PHP support
• PHP 5.2+ / 7.0+ cli and webserver support
• Xdebug 2.2+ (see Xdebug Install)

Install

git clone git://github.com/jasny/lib-phpdebug-js.git
cd lib-phpdebug-js
npm install

Setup

Create a virtual host with PHP enabled and Xdebug installed (say http://lib-phpdebug.localhost/) and point it to ./php/. This will be used to serve PHP scripts for the example client UI and automated tests.

Configure Xdebug in php.ini:

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=secret-key
xdebug.remote_port=9000         // default
xdebug.remote_host=localhost    // default
xdebug.remote_autostart=0       // default

Launch debug proxy server:

node ./example/server --port 9080 --php lib-phpdebug.localhost --idekey secret-key

Use -v to log major events to console and -d to log debug messages to console.

Test

The following will run a bunch of tests to cover all supported use-cases:

node ./test/all --port 9080 --php lib-phpdebug.localhost --skip-browser-tests --idekey secret-key

TIP: If the example client is open at http://localhost:9080/ it will show the progress of the tests if the --skip-browser-tests argument is omitted.

Demo

Open the example client at http://localhost:9080/ (served from the debug proxy server).

You can now use the client to run the test suite using the Run All Tests link.
