phpStorm/Xdebug can't show show child arrays of objects
phpstorm, xdebug
Solution
http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=686
It's all about how such classes (`SplObjectStorage`, `ArrayObject` and alike) are implemented internally:
this is because objects of the class SplObjectStorage are not user land PHP objects but special super duper internal ones. A similar situation will happen with many other internal PHP classes.
AFAIK nothing can be done on PhpStorm's side until xdebug will be able to "support" them.
UPDATE: The aforementioned xdebug ticket was resolved for xdebug 2.3.3 quite some time ago (latest stable xdebug version is 2.4.1) and it should be possible to view such classes in debugger.
Problem
I'm trying to debug this code: ``` public function removeBlankLines() { $this->qp->find('br'); } // <-- break point is here ``` When I drill down into the $this object (using phpStorm) I can't see the child array I'm interested in. It just displays "can not get property" Screenshot: I'm "listen for debug connections" feature. I'm running the script from the command line.
