Research direction

Start with the Xdebug development aids documentation linked in the issue, then inspect the Docker environment's PHP configuration. Reproduce the problem with var_dump() and an error, and consider the issue done when Xdebug-enhanced output appears for both cases.

Description

bug

I have not been able to get Xdebug development aids to work in our docker environment. I tried different PHP configurations but a var_dump() does never change to a xdebug version and error messages stay a simple text dump.
