Vscode-php-debug: Debugging won't start in 1.16.2

[evs-xsarus]

Clicking on 'play' does nothing, the debugger stops within a second.

Workaround: go back to v1.16.1

PHP version: n/a
Xdebug version: n/a
VS Code version: 1.58.2 Linux
VS Code extension version: 1.16.2

Your launch.json:
Xdebug php.ini config:

Xdebug logfile (from setting xdebug.log in php.ini):
``json { "launch": { "configurations": [ { "name": "Listen for XDebug", "type": "php", "request": "launch", "port": 9099, "pathMappings": { "/sites": "/home/evs/sites" }, "xdebugSettings": { "max_children": 256, "max_depth": 3 } }, { "name": "Listen for XDebug CLI", "type": "php", "request": "launch", "port": 9099, "pathMappings": { "/site": "${workspaceFolder}" }, "xdebugSettings": { "max_children": 256, "max_depth": 3 } } ] } } VS Code extension logfile (from setting"log": true` in launch.json):
Not available, debug won't start.

I too am having this issue. On clicking the play button, the "debug toolbar" (whatever its called) pops up for ~1 second then disappears.

Have additionally tested with the testproject, launch.json as:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      //"debugServer": 4711, // Uncomment for debugging the adapter
      "name": "Listen for Xdebug",
      "type": "php",
      "request": "launch",
      "port": 9003,
      "log": true
    },
    {
      //"debugServer": 4711, // Uncomment for debugging the adapter
      "name": "Launch currently open script",
      "type": "php",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${file}",
      "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
      "port": 0,
      "runtimeArgs": ["-dxdebug.start_with_request=yes"],
      "env": {
        "XDEBUG_MODE": "debug,develop",
        "XDEBUG_CONFIG": "client_port=${port}"
      }
    },
    {
      //"debugServer": 4711, // Uncomment for debugging the adapter
      "name": "Launch Built-in web server",
      "type": "php",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "-dxdebug.mode=debug",
        "-dxdebug.start_with_request=yes",
        "-dxdebug.client_port=${port}",
        "-S",
        "localhost:0"
      ],
      "program": "",
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "port": 0,
      "serverReadyAction": {
        "pattern": "Development Server \\(http://localhost:([0-9]+)\\) started",
        "uriFormat": "http://localhost:%s",
        "action": "openExternally"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Have set xdebug.log=C:\tmp\xdebug_errors.log but not getting any entries so unfortunately cannot provide a log file. Will continue to keep trying i/r/t getting some logs.

The "age old" dev dependency problem. I need to figure out how to run a GitHub actions test for this.

Just noting that this resolves the issue, many thanks!

Thank you for your quick fix guys, I kinda freaked out today when I started coding and realised the debugger didn't wanna :D
