Another example
Install
To install you must run this code (using the composer).
$ composer require tacnoman/dephpugger
Install globally
In Linux or Mac Os X
Run this command:
$ composer global require tacnoman/dephpugger
And add in your ~/.bash_profile.
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
Now, run source ~/.bash_profile
and you can run the commands using only $ dephpugger
. Is possible to use the composer command to run the dephpugger. You can use:
$ composer exec dephpugger <command>
This last command will run in local or global installation.
In Windows
Sorry for this :/ I don't have Windos SO to run the Dephpugger, but I'm waiting your Pull Request to solve this ;D
But you can use Docker
Using phar file
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/renatocassino/dephpugger/master/dephpugger.phar -O dephpugger
$ chmod +x ./dephpugger
$ mv ./dephpugger /usr/local/bin/dephpugger
Or installing via curl
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/renatocassino/dephpugger/master/installer.sh | bash
Install XDebug
To install XDebug in Linux you must run:
$ sudo apt-get install php-7.2-cli php-dev php-pear
$ sudo pecl install xdebug
Find the last line, similar to: You should add "zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20170718/xdebug.so" to php.ini
and copy to your php.ini
file. To get the php.ini
file, you can run:
$ php --info | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/7.2/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini
Copy the zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20170718/xdebug.so
to last line in /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini
.
Docker
$ docker run --rm -p 8888:8888 tacnoman/dephpugger:latest server
Dependencies
- PHP 7.0 or more (not tested in older versions)
- Xdebug activate
- A Plugin for your browser (If you want to debug a web application)
Plugins for
You can run this commands to check your dependencies:
$ vendor/bin/dephpugger requirements
$ vendor/bin/dephpugger info # To get all values setted in xDebug
# Or in global
$ dephpugger requirements
$ dephpugger info
Usage
To usage you must (after installation) run two binaries in vendor/bin
folder.
$ php vendor/bin/dephpugger debugger # Debugger waiting debug
$ php vendor/bin/dephpugger server # Server running in port 8888
# Or in global
$ dephpugger debugger
$ dephpugger server
You must run in two different tabs (in next version you'll can run in an uniq tab). After run theese commands, you need to put the follow line in your code:
<?php
# ...
xdebug_break(); # This code is a breakpoint like ipdb in Python and Byebug in Ruby
# ....
Now, you can open in your browser the page (localhost:8888/[yourPage.php]). When you request this page your terminal will start in breakpoint (like the image 1.0).
To debugger a php script, you could run:
$ php vendor/bin/dephpugger cli myJob.php
# Or in global
$ dephpugger cli myJob.php
Comands after run
When you stop in a breakpoint you can make theese commands:
Command | Alias | Explanation |
---|---|---|
next | n | To run a step over in code |
step | s | To run a step into in code |
set <cmd>:<value> | Change verboseMode or lineOffset in runtime | |
continue | c | To continue script until found another breakpoint or finish the code |
list | l | Show next lines in script |
list-previous | lp | Show previous lines in script |
help | h | Show help instructions |
$variable | Get a value from a variable | |
$variable = 33 | Set a variable | |
my_function() | Call a function | |
dbgp(<command>) | To run a command in dbgp | |
quit | q | Exit the debugger |
Configuration (is simple)
The Dephpugger project has default options like a port, host, socket port, etc. You can change this values adding a file .dephpugger.yml
in root directory project. You can create in your .dephpugger.yml
file the configurations. Like this:
---
debugger:
host: mysocket.dev # default: 0.0.0.0
port: 9002 # default: 9005
lineOffset: 10 # default: 6
verboseMode: false # default: false
historyFile: ~/.dephpugger_history # default: .dephpugger_history
server:
host: myproject.dev # default: 0.0.0.0
port: 8080 # default: 8888
path: ./public/ # default: null
file: index.php # default: null
These values will replace the default configuration.
