Xdebug var_dump formatting osx

Question

I have installed xdebug using brew (brew install php55-xdebug), I can see it loaded in when I print phpinfo(). I walked through stackoverflow and found in the answers that these properties should be set to these values as I did:

HTML_ERRORS are ON

xdebug.overload_var_dump is ON

xdebug.remote_autostart is ON

xdebug.default_enable is ON

And my question is why my var_dump outputs aren't formatted with colors etc.

When I use xdebug_var_dump() it's not colored either.

The only thing I can achieve is this ⬇︎ by adding <pre> tags but can't get those colors working... Thanks

var_dump screen

That config should work, as far as I know. What happens if you use xdebug_var_dump() instead of var_dump()? — Jeremiah Winsley

Set xdebug.cli_color = 2 to your /etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini file. See here:

If this setting is 1, Xdebug will color var_dumps and stack traces output when in CLI mode and when the output is a tty. On Windows, the ANSICON tool needs to be installed.

If the setting is 2, then Xdebug will always color var_dumps and stack trace, no matter whether it's connected to a tty or whether ANSICON is installed. In this case, you might end up seeing escape codes.
