There is some CSS in the HTML, and also the HTML/CSS/JS can use some updates in general to make it somewhat cleaner.

Kaspars Sprogis: We are not using Profiler at all, but only Debugger togglere, therefore it is quite annoting when you want to disable Debugging, on first click it goes to Profiling state and only on next click disables xdebug helper.

It would be great if you could specify in Options, show Profiler state in extension icon or not.

The ladybug icon appears in the search bar but is grayed out and does not change when clicked.

We should add better explanation on how to use the "Domain filter" in the settings. This is not completely clear to everybody, maybe some examples would help.

Should have an option in the settings to define how long I want the XDEBUG cookie to live.

About hotkey. Don't work for me. No reaction on Ctrl+Shift+X

Currently running Mac OSX Mavericks. The GUI for selecting xdebug-activation-type only appears like half of the time. Most of the time I barely see the debug-icon and I'm unable to activate it. After some clicking the GUI is presented correctly.

hi,

I like domain filter, it should work for url. I got main server for example www.test.local, and webgrind is at www.test.local/webgrind. Of course I dont want to run profiling on webgrind, so it should come handy, if I can disable profiling on 'webgrind' when in URL.

Thanks for extension.

Add link from the settings screen to GitHub so people know how and where to contribute.

I think it would be great if a popup was shown when clicking the ladybug instead of cycling through options. Now you sometimes have to click 3 times to get to the right mode, a popup with the options would be quite handy and gives us more room to add more modes/options.

This method should help to create a popup like this:

Some devs seem to have trouble getting started with XDebug and this extension. Maybe a getting started blog/doc would help?!

Hi,

thank you for that great helper.
As a php developer i also have to create xml-file, but for these xdebug helper is inactive and i can't start debugging.
Could you please make it working for xml requests, too?
currently i have to break the xml, so a html answer is shown where i can activate xdebug helper.

thanks

Most of the time I'm enabling/disabling the debugger and not switching on/off profiling and trace.
So would be real handy to have a hotkey to just enable debugger. Like ctrl-shift-d

Hello,

I think it would be great if you could set a keyboard shortcut in Preferences > Extensions-> Configure Commands that allowed you to enable/disable xdebug helper.

It is discussed here:

http://developer.chrome.com/trunk/apps/commands.html

Thanks for the great extension!!

Hi,

I have a problem with the xdebug plugin:

When I go to a page, activate debugging WITHOUT starting my IDE (or listening to incoming debug sessions) the page will NEVER load. It will keep "loading" but nothing happens. I first need to start my IDE, activate the debug listener, load the page and than I can disable the xdebug helper!

Solution: Implement somekind of fix that if no "debug host" can be found just don't debug but continue load the page.

I don't know if it is possible to create somekind of log file for you?

Details:
Windows 8.1 64-bit (also occures on win 7 sp1 64-bit)
Chrome version: 31.0.1650.57 m
XDebug helper: 1.4.2

Should use chrome.tabs.query instead.

Would be great if you could add it as Opera extension.
It can be uploaded unmodified to Opera extensions. The extension works fine in Opera 15+ (WebKit/Blink edition)

Hi!
I found that plugin doesn'to work with Chrome 45.0.2453.0 dev-m (64-bit)

To navigate the popup, also support hotkeys, open popup press a key to select an option.

Could use keymaster for this.

I have xdebug properly installed, and have confirmed this by viewing phpinfo() and seeing xdebug listed with all of its settings. I have configured the extension by entering my custom IDE Key and confirmed that it is saved and correct.

When I navigate to the page on the site I want to debug, I see the bug icon, in the url bar, and if I click it, it cycles through all of the options: Debugging enabled, Profiling enabled, Tracing enabled. If I click and make the bug green and reload the page, it then stays green on the page.

I assume I am missing something very obvious here, but where can I find the output of xdebug, I assumed it would be presented on the screen...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time!

Only after you did some settings the icon appears in the address bar. This should not be the case, the icon should be visible immediately.

many times the "bug" image doesn't appear next to the end of the URL line

what does it mean ?
how to be resolved ?

tnx

Any ideas?

Update: When triggering the hotkey I do not get any output/errors in the console.

According http://xdebug.org/docs/profiler in xdebug version 2.3 was added xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger_value

it would be nice to set this value in options of this great plugin

It works fine for everywhere else but whenever I have a form within a bootstrap modal it freezes.

It will be nic to have hotkey for fast toggle debug mode, only on/off debuging.

When I add a port number to the url the Helper won't trigger the action selected because the cookie is not set. If I start the debug from the url without the port number and then I go to the url with the port number the Helper doesn't show the triggered action.

Would love to have a nicer and more exclusive icon for the extension. This is a free icon of a bug, but I'm seeing it a bit to often around the web. If someone could produce a great icon for this extension that would be amazing!

Hide domain filter on the option page under a "Advanced options" link. That makes things a bit simpler for new users.

When I switch from one project to another with a different xdebug configuration, I have a to change the key manually. This bother me a lot and I wonder if it is plan/possible to add a feature to configure a key for specific domain filter.

Hello,

Would it be possible to add an option to only show the debugging icon and to to disable the profiling and tracing icons.

Everytime I debug I always have to click the icon multiple times to enable and disable debugging. Since I never use the profiling and tracing options i think it would be good if there was away to disable those features.

Thanks,
Gary

Just noticed i am being blocked from its use.

Erik Gunnarsson: The debug icon does not seem to show up in popup windows, so debugging scripts in popups seems impossible.

Although popups should be avoided the debugger tool should still be available.

If there is a call to a script which returns an xml structure, the helper gets disabled upon the response and cannot be enabled again.
If then calling another script in the same tab, which produces non-xml output, the helper gets enabled again.

On a host that has a redirect loop you are unable to select options in the popup

Is it not proper that there should be an instruction about how to use this extension?

What a nice feature would be if we can debug only xhr requests.
Currently i have a web project where a lot of elements start loading after layout loaded.
How i debug it now:

1. Set breakpoint or 'debugger;' statement inside code
2. Waiting when xhr breakpoint start debugger
3. Turn on debug mode in xdebug helper
4. Debug in my IDE

By the way breakpoint must be set before xhr actually send data!

This feature can be implemented with prototype property of xhr (setting callback before xhr starts)

With IDE key "macgdbp"

Ideally something like double-clicking the icon would toggle state between disabled and debug. Do you like this idea? If so I can work up a PR.

Looking into the Chrome docs it looks like if you use a popup you get no events triggered on the icon, leading to a couple ideas:

1. Save the time of the last popup opening and if it's less than ~250ms, toggle the state and close the popup.
2. Change to a manual popup (dunno how hard this is) using the icon onClicked.

Hello, In phpstorm I can insert the cookie at any time and start debugging, but with eclipse PDT it always start a new tab on browser. someone had success setting up eclipse?

No, this is not an issue. But I have to say a couple of things and I could not find another way to tell this; so I put it here.

This small software is something I have been using since about an year now and I have tried similar stuff from Google Chrome Webstore as well and nothing is as simple intuitive and functional as much as little beautiful stuff here.

It makes a lot of things easy and that counts. It's like being apple - they do not just mash together some technology, they find out the easiest and the most beautiful way to put it to use. This little extension here is the 'Apple' of all debugging extensions.

Thank you both for creating it :)

Cheers :)

Should use chrome.tabs.sendMessage instead.

Matt Zuba: Love this extension, it's been a life saver over using var_dump or print_r. I modified it to allow XDEBUG_TRACE as well for function traces and it's even better! Highly recommend the author add the trace functionality. I used the magnifier.png icon from the silk icon pack and it's seem-less.

The menu appears when the bug icon is clicked, but clicking the labels in the menu does nothing at all. It doesn't even close when clicked.

because it's smaller then jQuery.
