How to remote debug phpunit tests with phpstorm 8 EAP

gistfile1.txt

I'm developing php laravel application with an ubuntu vm hosted on a windows system. codes are shared through share folder between vm and host. the mounting place is /mnt/hgfs/server_php.

here are the steps I figured out which can enable you debug phpunit tests remotely with remote php interpreter inside phpstorm 8 EAP

first, please ensure you are installing phpunit in server through composer:

add 	   "phpunit/phpunit": "4.0.0",   in your composer.json and run composer update

1) download phpstorm 8 EAP: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Early+Access+Program
2) configure deployment option:

3) configure php->servers

5) config php->phpunit->local

   add a remote interpreter

now you can add a breakpoint and just start listen and debug!
