VSCode debugger integration: pathMappings

Question

Hi there,

I am a newbie to VSCode and I am working with PHP.

I am trying to install the debugger 'xdebug' but have run into a challenge that I need your help with.

In the launch.json file in set my localSourceRoot but the Intellisense has told me this is deprecated and I need to use pathMappings.

I am totally confused as to how and what I am supposed to put place in the curly braces. Could you please explain to me the fields that are requested?

I am using Desktop Server 3.8.5 which has PHP 5.524 and Xdebug 2.2.5

Thank you for your help

Eric

Answer 1

No problem hope you get answers.

Answer 2

Hi Sarah. My bad. I thought that because VSCode is a Microsoft Product I could ask on their forum somewhere. I should have got the hint when they didn't show any developer type forums in the dropdown lists.

FYI - I did post a question on GitHub and did some research on my challenge before posting any questions online. Felix doesn't seem like he cares to help much. At least that is what I gathered from reading his responses to people who posed him questions.

Thanks anyway for responding. I guess I'll just not use VSCode until I learn more about coding. Programming is not for beginners. At least not on GitHub.

Peace. Have a blessed Easter.

This is the Windows forum therefore I think your question would be best suited in github.

I have a link for you where you can go and ask how to configure this.

Looks like some have already asked this question.

Best of luck.
