xdebug file_link_format for NetBeans?

[johnkary]

Working on Mac 10.5.8 with NetBeans 6.8 beta and xdebug 2.0.5.

In php.ini, you can specify the xdebug option xdebug.file_link_format for opening the given file path in your editor of choice if it has a custom URL scheme. With Textmate, you can route files to txmt:// by using...

Hi,

unlike you said in your post, it's not possible on windows : the post on my blog you quoted says that I failed...

Is there anyone here who can help me to open netbeans with file_link_format on Windows please ?

To do the same, I combined Firefox, XDebug, Platypus, GreaseMonkey, Launchy and Gedit (same syntax as NetBeans: filename:xx)

My GM script extracts a nodeset of TD nodes containing "( ! )" indicating* an error in Xdebug, and for each node transform filename and line number to a link in the form "file://path/filename:xx"

I declared Gedit as browser (via launchy.xml), and a RightClick/ContextualMenu/Launchy/Gedit on the link created by GM do the trick

I preferred this solution over recompiling Xdebug for creating the link

I used Platypus to create a skeleton script and then adapted it :

function do_platypus_script() {
var nodesSnapshot = document.evaluate(
‘//th[contains(.,\'( ! )\')]‘,
document,
null,
XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null
);

for ( var i=0 ; i < nodesSnapshot.snapshotLength; i++ )
{
do_modify_html_it(
window.document,
nodesSnapshot.snapshotItem(i),
/in (.*) on line (.*)/,
‘in $1:$2‘,
null
);
};}
// Ends do_platypus_script

* same principle w/ php errors: have a look @php source code, printf(" … %s … %s …, filename, linenumber "

On Windows you could use the following mechanism:

1. In your php.ini (or .htaccess) set option xdebug.file_link_format to value "netbeans://%f?%l"

2. Open Firefox configuration (type about:config in address bar) and create new item of type boolean named network.protocol-handler.expose.netbeans and set its value to false

3. Create bat-file containing following script (don't forget to set valid paths for PHP CLI and NetBeans):

I found the above solution from zirawan almost worked for me, but I had to make some changes. (I was getting an error when it was trying to run the php command)

First, I adjusted the xdebug.file_link_format which he had as:

netbeans://%f?%l

TO

netbeans://%f:%l

Then, I replaced the batch file code with this:

Thanks a lot for the scripts, they are really useful.
Because of spaces in my url it did not work. After a look on internet to find how to make it works I modify a bit the script of rowanreid as follow:
