Research direction

Start with docker-compose.yml and the VSCode debugging setup, then inspect the wordpress container's XDEBUG_CONFIG and run phpinfo() as described. Compare the observed configuration with the linked instructions. Done means remote debugging is enabled and VSCode breakpoints trigger.

Description

I've followed the instructions for both my docker-compose.yml and VSCode but I'm having trouble getting XDebug to work.

I opened a shell into the wordpress docker container and verified that XDEBUG_CONFIG is set to client_host=host.docker.internal.

VSCode is listening for XDebug but none of my breakpoints are actually triggered.

Just for fun, I ran phpinfo() and it seems like remote debugging isn't turned on.

I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure what.
