Trying to move to sublime from heavier IDEs. The thing I noticed it lacked was debugging compared to the intellij IDEs. Through research I learned about XDebug and I believe it can provide comparable debugging. However, I'm having trouble setting it up.
Here is what I've done:
- Installed sublime 3
- Installed package manager
- Used package manager to install XDebug
- Noticed files were missing so I deleted the package through the package manager
- Cloned the repo from martomo (https://github.com/martomo/SublimeTextXdebug)
Placed it in my Packaged folder
Then I went to XDebug.sublime-settings and I'm not sure how to configure it (what am I linking to, what url does it need, etc...)
{ // For remote debugging to resolve the file locations // it is required to configure the path mapping // with the server path as key and local path as value. // // Make sure to use absolute path when defining server path, // because Xdebug debugger engine does not return symbolic links. // // Example: // "/absolute/path/to/file/on/server" : "/path/to/file/on/computer", // "/var/www/htdocs/example/" : "C:/git/websites/example/" "path_mapping": { }, // Determine which URL to launch in the default web browser // when starting/stopping a session.

I left the XDebug.sublime-settings file alone and just ran the debugger.
- Went to
http://localhost:9000
(and nothing happened, it just kind of got stuck loading)
The script I want to debug is in /Users/wf/Desktop (the file is xdebugTest.py)
How should I set up the url? (I tried http://localhost:9000/Users/wf/Desktop/xdebugTest.py
and 404)
I'll appreciate any help setting up the debugging parameters.
Thanks you.
