Symfony 4 Xdebug not working with REST API

I have a problem with Xdebug, like everything installed correctly, I put a breakpoint, but nothing happens, i.e. despite the breakpoint, the debugger doesn't stop.

My /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini config

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.idekey = PHPSTORM
xdebug.show_error_trace = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 0o

When I execute php -v i got:

PHP 7.4.6 (cli) (built: May 14 2020 10:03:28) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.4.6, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.9.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2020, by Derick Rethans

My PhpStorm settings:

I set breakpoint in PhpStorm:

I'm writing a REST API suing Symfony 4 and using Postman to send a request and would like to debug the code.

Any idea? How can I debug my REST API?

Configure PHPStorm XDebug to trigger on RESTful API requests

  • Add new PHP Remote Debug configuration

    • Choose a name for the config, for example> Xdebug
    • In configuration section
      • Add Server
        • Choose its name for example> Localhost
        • Add Host and port number, 127.0.0.1: 8001 then choose the debugger> Xdebug
      • Add IDE Key (session Id)> PHPSTORM

  • Add in php.ini

    xdebug.mode=debug

    xdebug.start_with_request=yes

    xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM

And now you only need to start the debugger with Xdebug configuration.

XDEBUg is not dependent on a PHP framework whether it runs or not.

I see a "0o". Set it to 1. Although the apache shouldn't start with "0o". 

xdebug.remote_autostart = 0o

This is my XDEBUG configuration, but in the docker.

xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_connect_back=0
xdebug.remote_port=9000
# xdebug.remote_host=${IP} # docker

You still have:

xdebug.idekey = PHPSTORM

Try calling the endpoint with ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=PHPSTORM

Set the check mark at Run -> Break at first line in PHP Script. This way you can see if XDEBUG reacts at all.

Then please configure your application under: Run -> Edit Configurations -> Templates -> PHP Remote Debug
