Typo3 Backend Debugging (Extbase)

I try to debug some things from a backend module (ActionController / Repository classes) using \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\DebuggerUtility::var_dump(). Unfortunately this has no effect. I remember that normally there was a panel in the backend showing the data, but in my case this doesn't appear. I enabled the debug preset in the configuration. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks Sebastian

As @Garvin Hicking mentioned, xdebug is super helpful, especially in the backend. But if you can't or don't want to run xdebug, just try putting a die() after your debug.


    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\DebugUtility::debug($whatEver);
    die();

The Backend Module Template API will probably swallow the output because it's not part of your proper response object.

Generally, if possible, I would advise you to use Xdebug for inspect data rather than "cowboy"-debugging.

Another option would be that you can use the parameters plainText and return of var_dump(), so that you can pipe through the output of that call to some ->assign() of your template. Or, you may want to pass through the data you want to inspect/debug to your template and use <f:debug> there.
