Strange behaviour of PHPUnit + Xdebug + PhpStorm

Question

I'm using PhpStorm + Xdebug + PHPUnit in shell on Debian. Works fine but there is a strange behaviour, mostly boring.

When I run phpunit command in shell, the first break that PhpStorm show me is in /usr/local/bin/phpunit in the line where it check the php version...

But Obviously I don't have put any breakpoint in that file.

if (version_compare('5.6.0', PHP_VERSION, '>')) {
fwrite(
    STDERR,
    'This version of PHPUnit requires PHP 5.6; using the latest version of PHP is highly recommended.' . PHP_EOL
);

die(1);
}

In addition, the file is very large so it remains blocked several seconds before you can go ahead.

Any suggestion?

Make sure that Run | Break at first line in PHP scripts is un-checked.

But most likely it will not help here. If so:

1. Setting/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Debug
2. Uncheck the Force break at the first line when a script is outside the project option -- based on your description this one is responsible for this behaviour.
