Until now, I was debugging my PHP scripts and testcases using vim and the appropiate script with python backing it. However, me and my colleagues need to move forward and vim/gvim is not an option for them.

So I’ve tried to integrate debugging PHPUnit in Eclipse on my setup as an external tool, which again, works with vim. However, it simply waits for something when I

  1. Launch the new external tool, then
  2. start debugging as a CLI script

Remote debugging is enabled, the environment variable XDEBUG_CONFIG=”idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP_127.0.0.1″ is also set.

Any ideas?

Addendum

Running the testsuite works. Debugging a web page works. Debugging a given test doesn’t.

Eclipse waits forever for something at 57% when trying to debug a phpunit test. I’d like to provide more information, but it doesn’t tell me more either.

    the explanation is at the end, by the way, it is in spanish.
