### Command-line runs of PHPUnit:
6
7
From a buildkit civiroot, run a specific file's tests::

9 2 Jon Goldberg
```shell
10
CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests phpunit5 tests/phpunit/CRM/Core/BAO/AddressTest.php
11
```
12 1 Jon Goldberg
13
You can also limit to a single test by filtering on name:
14
15 2 Jon Goldberg
```shell
16
CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests phpunit5 tests/phpunit/CRM/Core/BAO/AddressTest.php --filter testShared
17
```

### With XDebug
20 9 Jon Goldberg
21 14 Jon Goldberg
#### Web Browser
22
* Install the xdebug extension (e.g. `sudo apt install php7.4-xdebug`).
23
* Configure xdebug by copying the values below to `/etc/php/7.4/fpm/conf.d/xdebug.ini`:
24 2 Jon Goldberg
25 1 Jon Goldberg
```
26 12 Jon Goldberg
xdebug.mode=debug,develop
27
xdebug.start_with_request=trigger
28 1 Jon Goldberg
xdebug.client_port=9000
29
xdebug.client_host = "127.0.0.1"
30 10 Jon Goldberg
xdebug.log=/var/log/xdebug.log
31 12 Jon Goldberg
#xdebug.mode=profile
32 1 Jon Goldberg
#xdebug.output_dir = "/home/jon/temp/xdebug"
33
```
34 14 Jon Goldberg
35
* Install a plugin for your browser, like "XDebug Helper for Firefox".
36
 * In the plugin's configuration, set the IDE key to `VSCODE`.
37
38 21 Brienne Kordis
* If one does not already exist, create a launch.json file within the .vscode folder (make a new folder if it does not yet exist) at the root of your codebase. What goes into the launch.json file depends on whether you are debugging a a site created with the `civibuild` command or one that was not built with that command. Here are examples of a [civibuild launch.json](https://hq.megaphonetech.com/projects/commons/wiki/Launchjson_for_civibuild_sites) and a non-civibuild launch.json. Note that the "max-depth" on the "Listen for XDebug" configuration can be changed to delve deeper into the values that are returned (i.e. a depth of 6 will return more levels of a nested array than a depth of 3).

To debug, you must turn on the debugger in VS Code, then enable debugging in the address bar for the requests in question.
41
42 18 Jon Goldberg
#### civicrm-buildkit (mod_php)
43
The instructions above assume php-fpm.  To also debug mod_php (e.g. civicrm-buildkit), do the following:
44
* Use the same configuration file as under "Web Browser", but at `/etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/xdebug.ini`.
45
* Edit `/etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/xdebug.ini` and change the client port from `9000` to `9001`.
46
47 14 Jon Goldberg
#### Command Line (phpunit)
48
49 1 Jon Goldberg
* You need to have XDebug otherwise configured for CLI.  Use the same configuration file as under "Web Browser", but at `/etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini`.
50 15 Jon Goldberg
 * Also change `xdebug.mode=debug,develop` to avoid some unnecessary warning noise.
51 14 Jon Goldberg
52 5 Jon Goldberg
* You need to start a debugging session in VS Code with "Listen for XDebug".
53 1 Jon Goldberg
* Depending on your VS Code setup, you may need to listen on a different port (I can use the same port for FPM but not mod_php).
54 2 Jon Goldberg
55
Once you've got all that:
56 1 Jon Goldberg
```shell
57 15 Jon Goldberg
env CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests XDEBUG_SESSION=VSCODE phpunit7 /home/jon/local/civicrm-buildkit/build/dmaster/web/sites/all/modules/civicrm/tests/phpunit/CRM/Core/BAO/ActionScheduleTest.php --filter testMembershipJoinDateMinutesUnit
58 2 Jon Goldberg
```
59 6 Jon Goldberg
60 8 Jon Goldberg
### Command-line runs of standalone scripts
61 6 Jon Goldberg
```shell
62 13 Jon Goldberg
env XDEBUG_SESSION=VSCODE php myscript.php
63 6 Jon Goldberg
```
64 16 Jon Goldberg
65
### Debugging REST API calls in Ansible/curl
66 17 Jon Goldberg
Add an additional POST argument `XDEBUG_SESSION=VSCODE`.  In curl, just add `-d 'XDEBUG_SESSION=VSCODE'` anywhere in your command.
67
68
For Ansible, this might look like:
69 16 Jon Goldberg
70
```yaml
71
  - name: Shut up about Civi extensions (warnings only, 7 days)
72
    uri:
73
      url: "{{ primary_url }}/{{ endpoint }}"
74
      method: POST
75
      body:
76
        XDEBUG_SESSION: VSCODE
77
        entity: StatusPreference
78
        action: create
79
        json: "{{ {'name': 'checkExtensionsUpdates', 'ignore_severity': 3, 'hush_until': seven_days_hence } | to_json }}"
80
        api_key: "{{ crm_api_key }}"
81
        key: "{{ crm_site_key }}"
82
      body_format: form-urlencoded
83
      return_content: yes
84
```
