# Debugging CiviCRM cheatsheet
### Command-line runs of PHPUnit:
From a buildkit civiroot, run a specific file's tests::
```shell
CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests phpunit5 tests/phpunit/CRM/Core/BAO/AddressTest.php
```
You can also limit to a single test by filtering on name:
```shell
CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests phpunit5 tests/phpunit/CRM/Core/BAO/AddressTest.php --filter testShared
```
### With XDebug
* You need to define an additional php.ini setting at runtime (otherwise XDebug will always be on for CLI, leading to a big loss in performance);
* You need to specify a full path to phpunit5 (because running `php <script>` won't check your path for the script, just `php`).
* You need to have XDebug otherwise configured for CLI. Here's the contents of my `/etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini`:
```
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
```
* You need to start a debugging session in VS Code with "Listen for XDebug".
Once you've got all that:
```shell
env CIVICRM_UF=UnitTests idekey=VSCODE php -dzend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20180731/xdebug.so /home/jon/local/civicrm-buildkit/bin/phpunit5 tests/phpunit/CRM/Contact/Import/Parser/ContactTest.php --filter '^.*::testIgnoreLocationTypeId( .*)?$
```
### Command-line runs of standalone standalong scripts
```shell
env XDEBUG_SESSION=VSCODE idekey=VSCODE php -dzend_extension=xdebug.so -dzend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20180731/xdebug.so myscript.php
```
