Debug Symfony2 projects in PHPStorm

Question

I have a problem in debugging symfony2 applications in PHPStorm with xdebug because of Request::createFromGlobals() method. All other project debugs well.

The problem occurs, when the execution process meets the invocation of this method, the debugger just turns off without any error and the page is rendered.

Does someone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Try change app_dev.php to:

...
//$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../app/bootstrap.php.cache';
$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../app/autoload.php';
require_once __DIR__.'/../app/AppKernel.php';

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true);
//$kernel->loadClassCache();
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
...

I had the same issue with PhpStorm 7. The solution was to go into project settings and select Servers under PHP. Choose the server you are using (localhost in my case) and explicitly setup the directory mapping in the symfony project folder.
