In a long running process that is processing a worker queue, the PHP job is started a long time ago, but when I start the debugger from the IDE, then I need to restart the worker script so that It realizes that there is an active debugging session.

Could it be possible to have a function "xdebug_attempt_debug_session()" or something that mimics what happens in RINIT for the step debugger?

Then I could run it inside my processing queue loop:

while ($task = $queue->nextTask()) {
xdebug_attempt_debug_session();

$task->process();

}
