Eclipse doesn't stop in break points in debug mode

Question

Since yesterday I have problem with Eclipse debugger becasue it doesn't stop in the break points. I searched and I've found out this issue was an old problem related to the JDK 1.6.0_14, but I use JDK 1.7.0_55 and it was working good but from yesterday, to make it work, I should clean application and restart the PC and then run it in debugger and if I do any changes in my code then I should clean and restart the pc again, becuase it doesn't work and I don't know what happened. I use windows 8, Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 and Oracle Weblogic. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Make sure you didn't click skip break point option in eclipse. I did and wasted 45 minutes in figuring it out...

Answer 2

If you are using Maven, this is often due to the local source being for a different version than you the executable you are trying to debug. For instance:

• I develop v1.0.34-SNAPSHOT and commit to our SVN repository.
• The CI server automatically compiles this version
• I use the CI server to release version 1.0.34
• I deploy v1.0.34 to say Weblogic
• I try to debug, and Eclipse gets confused - it has source for 1.0.34-SNAPSHOT but the running version is 1.0.34

Another problem I have seen in older Eclipse versions, is that if two projects import different versions of the same library, then the debugger gets confused as to which source it should use. I've not tested this on Kepler or Luna.

This is what works for me:

I had to put my local server address in the PHP Server configuration like this:

Note: that address, is the one I configure in my Apache .conf file.

Note: the only breakpoint that was working was the 'Break at first line', after that, the breakpoints didn't work.

Note: check your xdebug properties in your php.ini file, and remove any you think is not required.
