FAQ

General

* Getting help
On the contacts page you can find means of contacting the developers in case you need help.
If you do need to send a support request, please include the information supplied by the "Debug Info Page" of you Gubed installation. See the Debug Info section of the Documentation page

* What does Gubed mean
* Where did you come up with the name?
The full name of the debugger is "Gubed PHP Debugger". If the name had been "Reggubed PHP Debugger" instead .
If you still don't get it, find out what an palindrome is ;)

Debugging related

* I'm using Gubed by including Gubed.php in a script and I'm unable to step into functions/class methods of that script.
* I'm using Gubed by including Gubed.php in a script and breakpoints in functions/class methods doesen't work in that script.
This is due to a technical problem, it's not impossible to fix, but neither very easy. Use StartSession instead to initiate your debug request, and it will work as expected.

* I can't get the proxy to work
Are you sure you need it? Most installations won't require the proxy, please read the proxy page in the documentation article .
However, if you DO need the proxy, please mail specific questions (preferably to the mailinglist), or join us on IRC.

* I get the infamous 'PHP Bug Error' message when I try to debug.
This is either because you supply Gubed with an empty file or because of a PHP bug, see php bug database . Please vote for that bug, or better yet: fix it!

* I think debugging is very slow, why does Gubed show each and every line it executes?
Gubed does this when it's in 'run' mode. Try 'leap' mode to execute without showing every line of execution. (Note, renaming of 'run' and 'leap' to 'trace' and 'run' is on the todo)

Quanta related

* Breakpoints doesn't work in Quanta (and it's not the issue discussed above in 'Debugging Related').
* I don't see current line of execution if I pause
This is most likely due to missconfigured basedirs. Check your Gubed settings in the project dialog and make sure that the server basedir would map correctly to the local one.
