i have successfully installed and configured xdebug. and now i am trying to get debugging to run. in test.php i set a breakpoint as described in the example and do M-x dap-debug and select "PHP Debug" from the list. but then i get an error message in the minibuffer.

Messages shows me the following error:

Debug session process exited with status: exited abnormally with code 1
error in process sentinel: Symbol's function definition is void: dap-hydra/nil

and in the buffer PHP Debug stderr I find:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:959
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/sutter/.emacs.d/.extension/vscode/xdebug.php-debug/extension/out/phpDebug.js'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:956:15)

at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47 {
code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
requireStack: []
}

i don't understand the error message. i can find the directory .emacs.d/.extension/vscode/xdebug.php-debug but it is empty. did i miss something to install? or what do the error messages want to tell me?

Most likely you have to download manually the php extension and expand it manually. https://github.com/xdebug/vscode-php-debug/releases

i downloaded
https://github.com/xdebug/vscode-php-debug/archive/refs/tags/v1.29.0.zip

and unzipped it to the ~/.emacs.d/.extension/vscode directory.

but i still get the same errors. did i get "expand" wrong?

is there anything on this path /home/sutter/.emacs.d/.extension/vscode/xdebug.php-debug/extension/out/phpDebug.js ?

[phisu]

/home/sutter/.emacs.d/.extension/vscode/xdebug.php-debug was empty and I can't imagine how to install anything into it.

Use https://github.com/xdebug/vscode-php-debug/releases/download/v1.29.0/php-debug-1.29.0.vsix It has extension/out/phpDebug.js

Thank you! This helped! Now I have to learn how dap-mode is to use.
