How to debug in Bitrix?

Question

1C-Bitrix

I can't figure out how to debug Bitrix via Xdebug and PHPStorm.
For example, customized component templates.
Where should breakpoints be placed and which file should be run in the browser?
(I work through the xdebug plugin for chrome).
In the browser, launch the page where the component is placed? (it seems that the template.php template cannot be viewed through the browser)

For example, I put a breakpoint at the end of the component call code (see screenshot). It gives some information, but there is no data on the variables and methods that were used when changing the template.

Answer 1

It gives some information, but there is no data on the variables and methods that were used when changing the template.

Those. did you configure debug? I may not understand something, but do you have a breakpoint in your screenshot after calling the component? Do you want to see how the component template is formed? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then the breakpoint should be placed in the component template. But keep in mind that if caching is enabled on the site, then the component will not always execute template.php.

Answer 2

Can you tell me how you set up the debugging? Preferably step by step.
