Xdebug "not installed" but works fine with sites
I am using MacOS 13, Laravel Valet (uses Nginx, dnsmsq, php 8.1). I have 2 sites using PHPStorm 2022.2.3. Storm reports that there is no debugger installed. But I am happily using Xdebug.
Why is Storm showing that Xdebug is not installed, when it is clearly working fine?
Php - v says it has Xdebug :
vincejacobs@Vinces-MacBook-Pro KidsClub % php -v
PHP 8.1.3 (cli) (built: Feb 28 2022 07:27:37) (NTS)

Additionally, Xdebug is showing up in my PHP info file.
My php.ini file has these attributes:
zend_extension="/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20210902/xdebug.so"
xdebug.mode="debug"
xdebug.client_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.client_port=9003
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM

Could you please show a screenshot from the specific PHP CLI Interpreter configuration?
Is there any chance that you have anything added to the "Debugger extension" field?
Hi Vince,

Thank you for sharing the screenshot.
Usually, there is no need to specify anything in the "Configuration file" field, have you already tried to leave it empty?
Also, could you please click on the (...), what other configuration files would the IDE show?
I was in Beirut not Dubai but I had a good time for sure, thanks! :)
