I have several places in my app where I call an API endpoint every 60 seconds.
When I try to debug with Xdebug the controller that is associated to that endpoint it often takes me more than a minute while I think/step over and so on, so I end up getting another request that Xdebug intercepts at the same previous breakpoint (I get two lines highlighted and actually when I step over again it will start from the new request onwards).
Is there a way to tell Xdebug to temporarilly ignore future requests being intercepted by Xdebug? Of course I could comment the JS part where I do the setTimeout to call again to the same endpoint but I would like to know if there's an alternative that doesn't imply tinkering with my code.
Thanks in advance.
You can't do this on the Xdebug side, but:
If you are using PhpStorm, you can set the "Max. Simultaneous Connections" setting to 1. It is (in my version) under "PHP", "Debug", "External Connections".
The latest version (1.21.0) of VS Code PHP Debug adapter supports this via the maxConnections launch.json setting.
Example showing max 2 parallel connections allowed. If logging is enabled, a line will be printed if a new connection is rejected.
