In my Google Summer of code project I'm working in the installation
application of Joomla!. When I have any error I can go debugging through
every step with XDebug and my IDE, but what can I do when I have an AJAX
call?
When I do an AJAX call I'm actually creating two instances of Joomla!, one
is the client (the one in my browser witch I know how to debug) but the
other is happening in my server, that will process the response of my
petition. I would like to go step by step debugging the creation of that
response, adding breakpoints and etc, but I don't know how to do that. Any
recommendation?
I'm not sure if this will help, but I have found it helpful sometimes
to use a JavaScript debugger to understand better what is happening
inside an AJAX cycle. For example, Firebug or Chrome have JS
debuggers. I'm not sure how to debug the PHP part of an AJAX cycle.
This link also looks interesting:

Good luck. Mark

Depending on your IDE you can configure it to have breakpoints with
something like XDebug and have the processes connect to the IDE on the
launch. I'd refer to the manual for the tool that you're using to see
how that operates but that would be an option for debugging AJAX calls
at least with XDebug.

Javier.... I debug Ajax calls all the time (firebug in Firefox) and with Eclipse/XDebug on the server side....
I forget the exact configuration.... but I think you have to have remote debugging enabled. And what I do is debug a normal page first to get Eclipse attached (launch the index.php page in Eclipse)... and then use the same session for Ajax debugging.... Sorry.. I know that's not very specific, but at least you know it's possible.
If you are still having problems, send me a direct email (we can chat on QQ/Yahoo/MSN), and I'll walk you through it. Might just have to run though it myself to remember the exact steps I take to enable it. You might just need the settings for the Launch/Debug :)

Actually I'm able to debug with my IDE Phpstorm while navigating with the
browser. That really rocks! but it only stops at breakpoints when is the
application generated by my browser, not when is the aplication running due
to the AJAX request.
I will continue investigating thanks Mark and Sam and thanks for your ofer
Brad, I will contact you If I don't find the answer.

Hi, for this purpose i'm using eclipse + xdebug + firebug all running at
localhost. With firebug you can see the post headers, the ajax call and the
server response. Also I'm been able to put a breackpoint at the function on
the controller who generates the ajax response. Obviously you have to start
debugging from index.php.
If you have wish, i could grab some screenshoots of the process.
Hope it helps,

As far as I know, the debug is working in that manner that YOUR IDE is waiting for a connection on a port you specified in php.ini and in the IDE settings. On your first debug run, your browser uses some params in the URl to tell xdebug "now i need debug".
When you use Ajax, you dont start a new debug session, and therefore xdebug cant work. Thats just an info, not a solution.
I would try to send some debug info in the url with the ajax request, maybe xdebug starts a new session then.

That has a lot of sense JSamir. Now I understand why!!!
Thanks ^_^
I have found some info:
If you want to debug a script started through a web browser, simply add
XDEBUG_SESSION_START=session_name as parameter to the URL. Refer to the
next section to read on how debug sessions work from within a browser
window.

I know this is not the answer that you were waiting because I haven't solve it not by firephp or other cool solution. Basically what i have done is using the not JSON controller of the installation aplication (setup.php instead of setup.json.php) to debug it with the browser. Something like: http://localhost:8080/joomla/installation/index.php?task=setup.instal...[]=8
What works for the non json controller basically works for the other. That is enought for my needs by now, but if I test firephp in the future I promise to update this thread.
