Debugging with Xdebug

Installing the Buggy Plugin

We install the Buggy plugin. We'll use this plugin to work through the course material and learn how to use Xdebug.

Use Bug­gy to learn good debug­ging skills or play a trick on a friend. Every­one loves some good ol’ fash­ion fun!

Bug­gy is half fun and half learn­ing. You can use it just to make tiny bugs crawl across the Craft con­trol pan­el or learn fol­low along with the CraftQuest course on debug­ging with Xde­bug.

Bug­gy has two modes:

  1. Auto­mat­ic Bug Spawn­ing: Learn how to debug using Xde­bug by solv­ing bugs in the plu­g­in code. The num­ber of bugs crawl­ing on the screen is relat­ed to the num­ber of bugs in the code. Fix the soft­ware bugs while fol­low­ing along with this course and few­er bugs appear in the con­trol panel!
  2. Man­u­al Bug Spawn­ing: Gen­er­ate and exter­mi­nate swarms of bugs using a sim­ple inter­face. The bugs you gen­er­ate will appear in the Con­trol Pan­el. More swarms means more bugs! 

Debugging with Xdebug is made up of the following videos:
