Makes Debugging in @wordpress/env Possible

  • I’ve been switching from a custom Docker Compose environment to @wordpress/env (aka wp-env) which I still fail to figure out how to quickly tail the PHP debug logs. Is it even possible? They say it is, yet I only ever see the HTTP logs from the web server…

    I’ve added this plugin to my .wp-env.json file so that I always have it available in my test environment now. I’m amazed the infamous Debug Bar plugin doesn’t seem to have a way to see the tail of the PHP debug log file..?

    My favorite part about this plugin is that repetitive log lines are grouped together in the display, with a note of the number of occurrences. Makes reading the logs much easier at quick glance!

    The downside of this plugin is just by the nature that it’s a plugin—if you’re trying to debug PHP Fatal errors that happen early in execution, they won’t be accessible since they would prevent this plugin from running. However, I didn’t have a problem with this because I’d let the PHP Fatal happen and then just undo whatever I did to cause the fatal error. After that, I’d just go back to review the error in this plugin’s page. Easy!

    Thanks for the really nice review Michelle! Glad to know it’s been useful for wp-env.
