PHPStorm integration
PHPSTORM has native integration with Docker compose. That's nice but will stop your php container after run the test scenario. That's not nice when using fpm. A solution could be use another container just for that purpose but is way slower and I don't want. For that reason I use ssh connection.
IMPORTANT
ssh in the container it's ONLY for that reason and ONLY in the DEV TAG, if you've ssh installed in your production container, you're doing it wrong...*
Click here for the detailed instructions about how to setup the PHP remote interpreter in PHPStorm.
If you're already familiar with it, here a quick configuration reference:
| Host | Direction |
|------------------ |-------------- |
| Docker 4 mac | localhost |
| Dinghy | $ dinghy ip |
Port: 2323
Filesystem mapping: {PROJECT_PATH} -> /app
Xdebug
To ease your development process, you can use Xdebug with PHPSTORM.
Add a Docker interpreter

Enable Xdebug listenning. Don't forget to also activate Xdebug helper from your browser.

Additionally, you can check
Break at first line in PHP scriptsto ensure your debug is working.Make a request from you API at http://127.0.0.1/api/doc for example. You should see this popup:

Click on
Acceptand you should be ready to debug ! Start placing breakpoints on your code and enjoy debugging !
Note for Windows users:
You might need to update
docker-os=todocker-os=windowsin Makefile or specify its value on command line like$ make start docker-os=windows.
