Feature to ignore `file not found` errors and don't present vscode pop

[tkrajacic]

PHP version: 7.1
XDebug version: 2.5.1
Adapter version: 1.10.0

Your launch.json:

{
    "name": "Listen for XDebug",
    "type": "php",
    "request": "launch",
    "port": 9000,
    "localSourceRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/myplugin/",
    "serverSourceRoot": "/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/"
}

XDebug php.ini config:

xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 0
xdebug.remote_host = 192.168.0.150
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_log = "/tmp/xdebug_log/xdebug.log"
xdebug.default_enable = true
xdebug.html_errors = true

For Wordpress plugin development I have only shared one directory in my repo with the Wordpress container and mounted it inside Wordpress' plugins directory.
xDebug and your fabulous vscode extension work wonderfully and breakpoints and everything works like a charm.
However, when there is an error that bubbles up in one of Wordpress' php files, the extension tries to map that to a local file, which it can't find of course. Totally understandable. It is very annoying though that vscode creates an error popup for that every time.

I am not sure what the best solution is:

• I can mount the entire Wordpress directory (Don't want to do that though)
• The xDebug-adapter could not report the error to vscode
• vscode could introduce a setting to selectively ignore errors from plugins

I am open to any suggestion, if changing this in this adapter is the wrong way to go.

Sounds like #66 would suit your needs.
If not returning an error, what else should the debug adapter return?

[tkrajacic]

#66 looks great but I would require to un-ignore my plugin's directory. The Wordpress directory which I want to ignore is containing my plugin of course.

If not returning an error, what else should the debug adapter return?

That is a good question to which I do not have an answer.

That's why I came up with the idea that it might actually be "fixed" in vscode (e.g. ignore errors) but that isn't satisfactory either.

[felixfbecker]

It should be possible to do that with glob patterns.
Btw, why does your wordpress directory have to be outside your workspace? And why should VS Code not be able to find it?

[tkrajacic]

Ok, thanks I am trying to figure out the glob pattern.

BTW, vscode tells me that Property ignore is not allowed in the launch.json config file.

I am running a docker container with Wordpress and there is no need to have the files locally mirrored. Only the plugin directory needs to be accessible for the project. I guess it's just personal preference.

Did you use that branch? The PR is not merged.

As a NodeJS dev it's hard for me to understand why one would prefer not to have all dependencies inside the project folder. You don't need to mirror anything, you can mount a volume.

[tkrajacic]

Yeah sorry, just realized it was not merged.

Well if I have a few plugins and I have to mount the vanilla WP installation in every one of those repos I am creating a lot of pointless duplicate files on my harddrive that I don't need. (IIRC the data is duplicated from the image when mounting?). But I do understand your point well.

Maybe I should start mounting the entire WP root in a .wp directory that's gitignored in my projects... 🤔 (But then again xDebug would always point to the wrong file inside the .wp dir instead of the src dir where the plugin is!)

[felixfbecker]

A docker volume is not duplicated, it's mounted.

I feel this is a workspace setup issue that should be solvable with current mapping options. If after 5 years this is still a problem please reopen and provide a more detailed description of your workspace layout, how PHP "sees" your files and I can help you setup things so they work.
