I'm trying to get the Exception message window to show as shown on the Facebook page:



But I don't seem to be able to get it to show.

I've ticked all the PHP exceptions in the Debug > Exceptions window and followed the instructions at http://www.devsense.com/doc/phptools/de ... leshooting. Note that I can debug by stepping through the code and seeing their values just fine, it's just that I don't see the Exception popup.

I am on Visual Studio 2012 and PHP Tools for VS 1.8.4704 running on Windows 8 32bit.

This code for me does not show up an Exception message. Can anyone else confirm this should show the Exception popup message? I just see 'start' printed and that's it.

Code: Select all

<?php
echo 'start';
throw new Exception("broken");
echo 'end';
?>

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the post!

In the sample code you've submitted you should get exception message even if nothing is checked in Debug Exception dialog. As unhandeled exception is considered Fatal error.

Could you please alter your php.ini by adding this:
xdebug.remote_log = PATH_TO_LOG. Save, restart the server.

Run the script and send the log file. We'll be able to identify what's happening.

Thanks,

Hi Miloslav, I've attached the log file. Thanks!

Hi Jay,

Thank you so much for log! From it I can see you are debugging this file [url]file:///C:/Users/Jay/Desktop/test_php-deleteme/PHPWebProject1/PHPWebProject1/index.php[/url]

and that PHP Tools sets everything well for exceptions to be thrown. But the script just completes without breaking.

The file is exactly the same as you've posted above? If you put breakpoint on second line with

Code: Select all

echo 'start';

Does it break?

If you want we can make online session. If you are interested give me know I'll send you instructions.

Thanks,

Yes the file is exactly as what I pasted above (a throw with two echoes around it).

The following lines break as expected when a breakpoint is set on them:

Code: Select all

echo 'start';
throw new Exception("broken");

but not for this one:

Code: Select all

echo 'end';

Stepping into the line with the 'throw' simply stops the debugging.

If you want we can make online session. If you are interested give me know I'll send you instructions.

Sure, this sounds good!

Jay,

Stepping into the line with the 'throw' simply stops the debugging.

This should stop script execution of the script as it's unhandled exception,but VS should throw exception window.

Could you please send also your php.ini and phpinfo() output? There might be some settings responsible for this.

Anyway I'll send you private message about the direct session.

Thanks!

This was caused by this directive in php.ini:

Code: Select all

xdebug.default_enable=0

Commenting this out, or just changing the value to 1 solves it.

Thanks,
