I\'ve tried running the following CLI command:

phpunit -d xdebug.profiler_enable=on XYZTestCase.php

but it just runs as normal. Can anyone

Answer 1

You can run Xdebug from the command line by setting an environment variable beforehand, e.g.:

export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=YOUR_IDE_KEY remote_host=localhost remote_enable=1"

This worked for me.

More information on the Xdebug documentation.
