Xdebug Setup for Local Development.
I've spent the better part of the last 2 weeks trying to get Xdebug setup and working with Appwrite locally.
I realized the launch.json specified in the CONTRIBUTING.md(https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#vs-code-launch-configuration) wasn't quiet right. At least for me.
This is the configuration that was specified.
TypeScript
{
"name": "Listen for Xdebug",
"type": "php",
"request": "launch",
"port": 9005,
"pathMappings": {
"/usr/src/code": "${workspaceRoot}"
}
}
It appears "${workspaceRoot}" has been deprecated in favour of "${workspaceFolder}" in VSCode.
I'd like to know if there is a reason "${workspaceRoot}" is still maintained in the guide, and if "${workspaceFolder}" is indeed the right one, can I create an issue on it and possible even create a PR to have it updated??
TL;DR
Developers having trouble setting up Xdebug can update the launch configuration in VSCode from `${workspaceRoot}` to `${workspaceFolder}` for it to work correctly. The guide mentions `${workspaceRoot}` which is deprecated in favor of `${workspaceFolder}`. Developers can create an issue and even submit a PR to have the update reflected in the guide.
