It is also possible to run gdb directly on the .sh file (setting follow-fork-mode child) but it is less convenient, and also problematic if the test itself forks. This can be solved by just running the test command with "exec". AFAIK this should be inocuous for regular test running, but quite convenient when running gdb. Test script: --------------- gdb --args bash tests/failing_tests.phpt Expected result: ---------------- gdb running normally Actual result: -------------- gdb debugging the parent bash process instead (by default) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79913&edit=1
