Xdebug not stopping at breakpoints using REST Client

[admanesachin]

Hello,

I'm trying to get xdebug to work with a REST API client. I have the xdebug setup working for web pages using the tutorials provided by mark on his website. It is just the REST API setup which isn't working.. I have set the cookie as XDEBUG_SESSION=PHPSTORM while sending a POST request. The debugger only stops at the pub/index.php file even though no breakpoint is set and doesn't stop at any actual breakpoints. Can someone help me with the configuration?

I have a few bits of information with regards to getting xdebug to trigger not just on web page requests here: #916

add ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START= at the end of the url, for example: ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=PHPSTORM or ?anyparam&XDEBUG_SESSION_START=PHPSTORM
