Remote Docker interpreter: Xdebug is not available Follow

Hi there,

Try with Debugger extension" field empty.

Based on what you have provided (your "docker exec -it docker_webapp_1 php -v") you do not need to provide anything there since you have xdebug loaded by default. Right now it might be trying  to load it for the 2nd time. Double check the help page to see what that field does and when it can be used.

As to why xdebug config file is not listed as loaded -- no clue.

It's not the IDE that cannot see the extension - I am sure that if you will run that command (docker://docker_webapp:latest/php -dzend... etc), result will be the same.

Are permissions for 20-xdebug.ini file same when compared to others?
Is path to xdebug.so correct? Are permissions of xdebug.so fine as well?

Getting a similar issue. CLI and FPM report xdebug as installed. But setting up Docker interpreter fails to pick up the xdebug configuration file for some reason

IDE. Configuration file value:

/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-intl.ini
/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-ldap.ini,
/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-mcrypt.ini,

My only guess: different owner for xdebug.ini. Try changing it to the same as other extension configs: "staff" instead of "root".

Our Dockerfile previously used something like this to install xdebug

RUN pecl install xdebug \
    && echo >> /usr/local/etc/php/config/xdebug.ini \
    && echo "zend_extension=$(find /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ -name xdebug.so)" >> /usr/local/etc/php/config/xdebug.ini

Changed it to the following and the IDE was able to validate xdebug was installed

RUN pecl install xdebug \
    && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug

# -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff    81 Apr 26 10:50 docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini

Hopefully this helps others with similar issues.

Probably outside the scope of this topic but is there a preferred way to install xdebug from the base php image?
