Cannot set env without running a program (or

[georgewells-focus]

PHP version: 7.4.28
Xdebug version: 3.1.4
VS Code extension version: 1.26.0

Your launch.json:

{ "name": "Listen for Xdebug", "type": "php", "request": "launch", "port": 9003, "hostname": "0.0.0.0", "pathMappings": { "/var/www/syn": "${workspaceRoot}" }, "xdebugSettings": { "max_children": 1000, "max_data": 0 }, "env": { "XDEBUG_CONFIG": "log_level=7", } },

Xdebug php.ini config:

[xdebug] xdebug.mode = develop,debug xdebug.client_host = host.docker.internal xdebug.start_with_request = yes xdebug.connect_timeout_ms = 20 xdebug.log_level = 0

When starting the debugger, the following appears:

This seems to be caused by this change in 1.26.0:

vscode-php-debug/src/phpDebug.ts

Lines 489 to 491 in 5b239f2

	if (args.env !== undefined && args.program === undefined && args.runtimeArgs === undefined) {
	throw new Error('Cannot set env without running a program (or ')
	}

Reverting back to 1.25.0 is the current workaround I'm using.

I did come across this post on Stack Overflow saying the key has been renamed from 'env' to 'environment' however I can't see this in the latest VS Code changelogs or any documentation for both this extension or for VS Code.

Hi!

I have introduced the error, because without running a script (by defining program) the env has no effect. And this misconception caused a lot of isses.

Looking back on the change, maybe I should have introduced a warning first...

Oh I also see a complete blunder in the text... It got somehow cut off... 🤦‍♂️

Ah okay fair enough, to be fair I can just comment out my env section as I don't need it - good old copy/paste from a website somewhere. It might be worth adding something in the README against this option to specify that program must also be set?

I have extended the error message in #796. The env field is already in a special section in the Readme.
