Zero-Config xDebug with RockMigrations + DDEV + VSCode

[bernhard]

v3.16.0 adds an xDebug launch.json file to the .vscode folder and a checkbox to control whether you want to use that feature or not.

That means if you are using DDEV all you need to do to is to check the checkbox and then run "ddev xdebug on"

Thx @dotnetic for the hint about xDebug on DDEV! I've just tried it today and it works great! compared to my last experience with xdebug on laragon where performance was really bad the performance on my ddev container is so good that I even forgot to turn it off today ?

Page load times without xdebug: 100ms; with xdebug: 150ms ?

And all that with zero-config!!! You have to try it ?

Probably worth mentioning that since moving to ddev, I have found that xdebug works well with PhpStorm too. Much better than Laragon. My mileage!

Yeah just my RockMigrations checkbox is only for VSCode. But if you tell me what is necessary for PHPStorm I can maybe add that as well?

Nothing really. You just make sure PhpStorm is listening then run “ddev debug”.
