XDebug Controls for Local, because debugging happens.

Show off

Here is an handy GIF to show the add-on functionalities, enjoy.

Requirements and installation

1. Well... Local
2. XDebug Controls will only be available on custom sites
3. To install the addon open Local, go to Preferences > Add-ons > Reveal add-ons folder and unzip the content of this repository in that folder. Or clone it using:

   git clone https://github.com/lucatume/local-addon-xdebug-control.git

4. Relevant XDebug settings are exposed by the addon as a list of select fields; I've picked some defaults for you but take your time to read what each does.

Usage

The add-on consists of a single page UI found under the More > XDebug Control menu.
Some sensible and relevant XDbebug settings are exposed; the remote_host one is missing as the add-on is setting it for you.

I found a bug: what should I do?

Crap! Well: it happens.
There is a known issues where the data provided to the addon right after Local has started will be inconsistent; the symptom is that nothing will happen when clicking "More > XDebug Control".
The remedy is as old as IT: quit the app and restart it.
Before opening an issue be very very sure (very very sure, again) that your issue does not sound like "How do I configure XDebug to work with my IDE?"; I will try and support the addon, but Google is still your friend. Should this not solve the issue take the time to open an issue on this repository detailing:

1. Mac or Windows?
2. Your site settings (php version, web server, MySQL version and the like)
3. XDebug Control settings (if any)
4. Any other information you think might be useful

How do I debug this?

You can access the Developer Tools for the Local application using F12.
Access the addon folder and run npm install to pull the developer dependencies.
