How to use PHP Xdebug without sidecar?

See original GitHub issue

The development image we use for our workspace, already has PHP 7 and Xdebug installed on it.

How do we get this working with Che7/Theia so that the xdebug in the development container is able to communicate with the debugger in theia?

I can see there is a plugin for the felixfbecker/vscode-php-debug but this seems to start a new sidecar container without all the php modules we need (whereas these are already installed on the dev container).

I guess we need to be able to point our xdebug to the right internal host/port somehow?

@amisevsk this is fantastic, thank you. I can confirm that just by enabling the config below for xdebug in our dev container:

xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1

it is able to communicate with Theia debugger.

I think I had misunderstood how the plugin sidecar worked because the first test I did was using a “Launch currently open script” launch command. This I believe launches the said script in the xdebug plugin sidecar (correct me if I’m wrong). Whereas the listen action works when the site is browsed via the dev container.

Thanks again!

Ah, and now I can see the .vsix reference in the docs https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/using-a-visual-studio-code-extension-in-che. Cheers
