PhpStorm | PHPUnit | Feature test | Xdebug | Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11: SIGSEGV)

Question

I have used a feature test of PHPUnit. When my herd (I use Herd for local development) updated PHP - I received that strange exception when I launched the feature test:

Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11: SIGSEGV)

I expected that the feature unit test will works.

Stack with issue:

• php8.1 (Xdebug - 3.3.1)

Answer 1

After some searching - I have found that it looks like some issue with xdebug of the 3.3.1 version (I also had this version Xdebug after update PHP).

As I use herd, I have found a possibility to change the current version of my Xdebug to 3.2.2.

My solution:

Downgrade Xdebug version from 3.3.1 -> 3.2.2

Change xdebug version for herd: Here you can found how add the additional extension for herd: https://herd.laravel.com/docs/1/advanced-usage/additional-extensions#adding-extensions

In my case, I simply installed a new version pecl install xdebug-3.2.2

Extension location: On an M1/M2 Mac, the extension can be fount at /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl. On an Intel Mac, it will be at /usr/local/lib/php/pecl.

The whole path in my case: /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20210902/xdebug.so

In the phpstorm I have changed the debugger extension path to a new one and it started works
