Tools and versions used:
- Linux Mint 21.1
- Eclipse IDE for JavaScript ans Web Developers V4.25 (installed from the distrib)
- Xdebug : v3.1.2
- OpenJDK 11.0.19 2023-04-18
I installed PDT and Xdebug. phpinfo() shows that Xdebug is installed and configured. The file /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini contains :
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.log="/tmp/xdebug.log"
The project is configured with the right PHP version + Xdebug on port 9003. When I try to run the script in Eclipse the IDE don't stop at breakpoint.
I checked the xdebug.log file :
[13119] Log opened at 2023-06-20 18:01:19.379696
[13119] [Config] INFO: Trigger value for 'XDEBUG_TRIGGER' not found, falling back to 'XDEBUG_SESSION'
[13119] [Config] INFO: Trigger value for 'XDEBUG_SESSION' not found, so not activating
[13119] [Config] INFO: Trigger value for 'XDEBUG_TRIGGER' not found, falling back to 'XDEBUG_SESSION'

In the terminal I tried :
$ export XDEBUG_SESSION=1
$ php my-script.php
The script started and in the IDE it stopped at the first breakpoint ! Wow, I didn't expected that.
So I can debug my script this way, but it's not very practical.
I tried also to add the environment variable XDEBUG_SESSION in the "Environment" tab of "PHP CLI Application" configuration. No effect.
I uninstalled the 4.25 version, clean "eclipse-workspace" (removed old Eclipse configuration) and installed the 4.27 version (flatpack). No effect.
I checked and re-checked the IDE configuration and googled a lot, but I don't found the solution.
