In this monthly update I explain what happened with Xdebug development.

GitHub and Pro/Business supporters will get it earlier, around the first of each month.

In the last month, I spend around 22 hours on Xdebug, with 21 hours funded.

Xdebug 3.4

I spend most of the time this month working on bug fixes, resulting in the mid-month release of Xdebug 3.4.4. Most of the fixes revolved around exceptions and generating stack traces for them.

While fixing these, I also stumbled upon another bug. The issue here was that Xdebug wouldn't include the argument name for __invoke() call frames in its output. This only matters to PHP 8.1 and before though.

The rest of the month I spend on trying to resolve the code-coverage-with-fibers issue that I wrote about last month.

I now have a Pull Request that addresses the original bug and crash, but it does not yet fix all the problems that I discovered while running the test suite of reactphp/async with code coverage enabled. Therefore I did not manage to make another release this month addressing this issue. I hope to finalise this by the end of July.

Native Path Mapping

I have only played around with this during some demos in presentations showing this feature, but I did not make any progress with the feature itself.

It also seems that the PhpStorm team has looked at my bug report either.

Xdebug Videos

I have created one new video in the last months:

• Xdebug 3.5: Native Path Mapping Teaser

All Xdebug videos can be watched on my channel.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out to me on Mastodon or via email.

Business Supporter Scheme and Funding

On GitHub sponsors, I am currently 42% towards my $2,500 per month goal, which is set to allow continued of Xdebug.

If you are leading a team or company, then it is also possible to support Xdebug through a subscription.

In the last month, no new business supporters signed up.

Besides business support, I also maintain a Patreon page, a profile on GitHub sponsors, as well as an OpenCollective organisation.

If you want to contribute to specific projects, you can find those on the Projects page.

Xdebug Cloud

Xdebug Cloud is the Proxy As A Service platform to allow for debugging in more scenarios, where it is hard, or impossible, to have Xdebug make a connection to the IDE. It is continuing to operate as Beta release.

Packages start at £49/month, and I have recently introduced a package for larger companies. This has a larger initial set of tokens, and discounted extra tokens.

If you want to be kept up to date with Xdebug Cloud, please sign up to the mailing list, which I will use to send out an update not more than once a month.

https://github.com/bakame-php/aide-profiler is almost stable if you could give a spin and report issues or improvements area it would be nice. It is a nice non brainer straightforward profiler in PHP which seats between #Xdebug and you double call to microtime 😂 Give it a shot. #PHP #profiler #OSS

@dantleech a terminal user interface for xdebug? What an amazing idea. :D #php #xdebug

Released 0.1.0 of (x)debug-tui:

https://github.com/dantleech/debug-tui

#php #xdebug

I haven’t had many problems with #PhpStorm’s #Xdebug integration in a long time. Most of the time, it Just Works, but today, it decided it doesn’t like me, and so now, my afternoon has been spent trying to get it to work again.

This is the error I see in the step debugging console. The only thing I know has changed is PhpStorm (it upgraded).

```
Cannot find file '/path/to/ramsey/uuid/Standard input code' locally.
```

Even PHP deserves a better terminal experience 🤍

🥳 Xdebug 3.4.3 Released!

🐞 This is a bug fix release that fixes a few crashes.

↪️ It improves debugging with PHP 8.4's property hooks by recognising that they have code attached, and no longer throwing fatal errors or exceptions in some situations.

📹 I have created a new video!

:xdebug: In this video, I am showing off preliminary work on native path mapping.

📜 This allows you to directly debug template files.

🏃 It will also work for situations where the PHP files that you edit, and which cat "compiled" into other PHP files that actually get executed.

@zapiz Xdebug is amazing, as others have suggested.

I also ensure full coverage with unit tests, using PHPUnit.

more refactoring this morning - history mode now captures the current context so you can browse past state - and I combined the "history" view into the "session" view and the next step will be using <tab> to select focus and scroll the source/property-list up and down #php #xdebug #rust
