Can't seem to install xdebug for php 7.1

[asgrim]

Not sure if it's me or it's really just missing, but I can't get xdebug installed for php7.1.

I've just installed php7.1 (I had php7.0 already)

I've tried sudo apt-get purge php-xdebug && sudo apt-get install php-xdebug. Copied my xdebug.ini from /etc/php/7.0/ to /etc/php/7.1/.

$ php -v
Failed loading /usr/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so:  /usr/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

xdebug doesn't support PHP 7.1 yet.

I installed xdebug.so by compiling manually from master (at 9ad6791 currently) and initial indications are that it works just fine.

Steps to reproduce:

$ cd xdebug
$ phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20151012
Zend Module Api No:      20160303
Zend Extension Api No:   320160303
$ ./configure --enable-xdebug
 -- snip --
$ make
 -- snip --
$ sudo cp modules/xdebug.so /usr/lib/php/20160303/.
$ php -v

$

Not sure if earlier versions work, but release notes seem to suggest that even 2.4.0 of xdebug should work with PHP 7.1:

[2016-01-25] - Xdebug 2.4.0RC4 is out!
This is the fourth and hopefully last release candidate of the 2.4 series. The 2.4 series adds support for PHP 7 and is in large parts a rewrite of the earlier code base to support PHP 5.4 through PHP 7.0. This release candidate fixes among others, a bunch of crashes, and adds support for PHP 7.1.

I haven't had a response from @derickr directly though, but indications are that it should work.

From https://launchpadlibrarian.net/281530030/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-amd64.xdebug_2.4.1-1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1.1_BUILDING.txt.gz

configure: error: not supported. Need a PHP version >= 5.4.0 and < 7.1.0 (found 7.1.0beta3)

[asgrim]

Perhaps needs to be master then, no worries :) I'll continue building from source for now.

[derickr]

Only master works with PHP 7.1, 2.4.x is PHP 5.4 to PHP 7.0 only.

[asgrim]

Thanks for confirming Derick! :)

It looks like xdebug 2.5.0RC1 supports 7.1 (https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug/releases/tag/XDEBUG_2_5_0RC1)

[derickr]

Indeed, and the upcoming 2.5.0RC2 ... or maybe I should just call it 2.5.0.

[pavarnos]

Woo hoo! 2.5.0 is now released https://xdebug.org/updates.php#x_2_5_0
