What is Magento Cloud Xdebug?

The term “Magento Cloud Xdebug” describes the combination of a Magento app running on the Magento Cloud platform with the Xdebug PHP plugin. When set up in a Cloud environment, the potent correcting tool makes it possible for developers to quickly find and fix problems in their code.

An open-source PHP plugin called Xdebug was created exclusively for fixing PHP programs. It offers a variety of capabilities to aid engineers in fixing code.

Setup of Magento Cloud Xdebug

The steps below are typical for enabling the plugin on the Magento Cloud:

1. Firstly, access the Cloud environment using SSH.

2. If it isn’t already present in the system, we need to install the Xdebug PHP extension.

3. Set options like the remote debugging host and port, the maximum data depth, and the maximum array length in the Xdebug setup file.

4. Restarting the required PHP will make the changes to the Xdebug setup take effect.

5. To connect to this Cloud environment for remote debugging, set up the local development environment, such as an IDE or a code editor.

6. We can start remotely correcting sessions from the local development environment once Xdebug has been installed and set up. We can do things like inspect variables, step through code execution, set breakpoints in the code, and get details about what’s occurring in the app while it’s running.

Disabling Xdebug, when we’re not actively debugging, is a good idea to reduce any performance impact on the Cloud installation.
