[pdt-dev] Eclipse PDT, xDebug and Drupal .tpl.php file Debugging
|
I am an Eclipse PDT newbie, so please go gently with me.
THE ENVIRONMENT
================
I have set up Eclipse PDT 2.1.3 with xDebug and I am trying to debug a
Drupal application with LAMPP on Ubuntu via my localhost. I have also
included the Drupal Plugin for Eclipse.
THE PROBLEM
============
I set breakpoints in page-front.tpl.php and page.tpl.php and Eclipse
stops in the Drupal files as expected. I can see the variables and
everything.
However, I have set a breakpoint in a node-product.tpl.php file (based
on node.tpl.php) but when I click Run > Resume and I navigate to the
correct page in the browser window, the debugger just refuses to stop in
it. At this point under Run, the only command highlighted is Terminate,
so I don't know where in the application I am at present.
If the application is running, how do I break out of the loop and get
back control so I can start debugging?
Also, my Firefox browser opens, but there doesn't seem to be a
relationship between Run > Step Over (F6) and what I see in the browser
window. The browser is expecting user input. How do I coordinate
between the browser and the Eclipse IDE so it's interactive between the
two? That means, when I click in browser window, it should show me where
I am in the debugger.
I have one more question. When I start a Drupal debugging session most
people set up the Run > Run Configurations to start at index.php. My
question is can I start a debug session at some arbitrary URL address or
does it always have to begin with a .php file? How about a .tpl.php file
located not in the htdocs folder, but in the theme folder itself?
I know these are basic questions, but any help would be appreciated.
