How can I get XDebug to run with PHPUnit on the CLI?

Question

I\'ve tried running the following CLI command:

phpunit -d xdebug.profiler_enable=on XYZTestCase.php

but it just runs as normal. Can anyone

First, my environment:

• WampServer Version 3.1.3 64bit
• Apache 2.4.33 - PHP 7.1.16
• MySQL 5.7.21
• MariaDB 10.2.14

php.ini:

[xdebug]
zend_extension ="c:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.1.16/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.1-vc14-x86_64.dll"

xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir ="c:/wamp64/tmp"
xdebug.show_local_vars=0
xdebug.idekey = "PHPSTORM" #seems to work without this too

phpunit.xml:

    
        
            ./tests
        
    
    
        
            ./app
        
    
    
        
        
        
        
    

I made a test run configuration on phpstorm like this:

After making run configuration, the below command was run when I clicked debug button in PHPSTORM.

C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.16\php.exe
-dzend_extension=C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.16\zend_ext\php_xdebug-2.6.0-7.1-vc14-x86_64.dll
-dxdebug.remote_enable=1 -dxdebug.remote_mode=req -dxdebug.remote_port=9000 -dxdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 C:/wamp64/www//vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit --bootstrap C:\wamp64\www\\vendor\autoload.php --configuration C:\wamp64\www\\phpunit.xml --teamcity

Please notice the --teamcity. I have no idea about it :) Also notice the back and forward slashes.

I hope this helps everyone.
