How to debug code while using my browser on PhpStorm

Question

I cannot debug Laravel via PhpStorm and Xdebug.

When I try to debug a single file via PhpStorm, it works fine, but when I set a breakpoint and try it on the browser, it doesn't work.

PhpStorm waits for incoming connection with ide key and it stops there.

Im not getting logs at all. Just stucked. When I debug a single file it works perfect but when I try to debug laravel app via web application it stuck on waiting for incoming connection — user2399669

Collect xdebug logs for such unsuccessful session and share here: xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#remote_log — LazyOne

The workflow that I've set:

When you want to debug:

Basically, the Xdebug Helper will be your trigger. If you disable it, PhpStorm no longer will debug your code.

If you don't want to relay on an extension, you can go to your Xdebug config and set:

xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_autostart=1

And "Start listening for PHP Debug Connections" will be your trigger.
