Summary0002005: Activating Step Debugging, Command Line , dubious documentation
Description

I am using step debugging via Netbeans with no problems at all , but following the documentation for doing so on the command line I found out that the recommended setting for
set XDEBUG_SESSION=1

will not work. Doing so, the log file for Xdebug shows me this line :
[276] [Step Debug] -> <init xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="https://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug&quot; fileuri="file:///F:/xampp-htdocs/phpWebSocketServer/ignore/getOptions.php" language="PHP" xdebug:language_version="8.0.4RC1" protocol_version="1.0" appid="276" idekey="1"><engine version="3.0.4"><![CDATA[Xdebug]]></engine><author><![CDATA[Derick Rethans]]></author><url><![CDATA[https://xdebug.org]]>&lt;/url>&lt;copyright>&lt;![CDATA[Copyright (c) 2002-2021 by Derick Rethans]]></copyright></init>

Here the idekey equals the value of XDEBUG_SESSION, therefore there is no reaction in Netbeans where I set my breakpoints. The PHP script just hangs.
Setting XDEBUG_SESSION=netbeans-xdebug will make things work, when Xdebug is already started via Netbeans. I could not manage to get Xdebug started from the command line. The record from the log file looks now like:

[11056] [Step Debug] -> <init xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="https://xdebug.org/dbgp/xdebug&quot; fileuri="file:///F:/xampp-htdocs/phpWebSocketServer/ignore/getOptions.php" language="PHP" xdebug:language_version="8.0.4RC1" protocol_version="1.0" appid="11056" idekey="netbeans-xdebug"><engine version="3.0.4"><![CDATA[Xdebug]]></engine><author><![CDATA[Derick Rethans]]></author><url><![CDATA[https://xdebug.org]]>&lt;/url>&lt;copyright>&lt;![CDATA[Copyright (c) 2002-2021 by Derick Rethans]]></copyright></init>

Am I missing something ?

This is not an Xdebug issue. Netbeans should not care about what the idekey is, in order to decide whether to do anything with an incoming debugging session. Please file an issue with Netbeans: https://netbeans.apache.org/participate/report-issue.html

You can however set XDEBUG_SESSION= to any value that you want, including "netbeans-xdebug", which should work around this bug in Netbeans.

FWIW, it is documented that "The value of the variable does not matter unless you have set up a trigger value with xdebug.trigger_value." (https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#activate_debugger)
