Debugging WordPress Playground

  • Start CLI with Xdebug: server --auto-mount --xdebug. The CLI prints host/port and IDE key to configure your debugger; if the installed CLI help differs, follow npx @wp-playground/cli@latest server --help.
  • If breakpoints are not hit, confirm:
    • IDE listens on the port shown by CLI.
    • Path mappings include the mounted VFS path used by Playground.
  • For slow or stuck runs:
    • Add --verbosity=debug to see step-level logs.
    • Use --debug to print the PHP error log when boot fails.
    • Adjust request workers with --workers=<n|auto>; use --workers=1 to isolate worker-related behavior.
  • For mount issues:
    • Prefer absolute paths in --mount.
    • Use --mount-before-install when installer steps need files present early.
  • To inspect runtime state:
    • Open the Playground browser console; the Service Worker logs network/FS events.
    • Use the “Terminal” tab (if available) to run WP-CLI inside the instance.

    The skill provides a wrapper for WordPress Playground, a developer tool for running WordPress in the browser or via a local CLI. It includes capabilities for executing PHP code, modifying files, and downloading external resources such as Blueprints and plugins. While these are standard features for the intended use case, the ingestion of remote content from arbitrary URLs presents a potential indirect prompt injection surface.

Frequently asked

Does this work with WordPress versions before 6.9?
No. This skill targets WordPress 6.9 and later, with PHP 7.2.24+.
What Node.js version is required?
Node.js 20.18 or higher is required to run the Playground CLI.
Can I use WordPress Playground with production data?
No. Playground instances are ephemeral and SQLite-backed; you should never point them at production data.
Does this skill support Xdebug debugging?
Yes. You can enable Xdebug with the `--xdebug` flag and connect your IDE (VS Code, PhpStorm) to debug plugin and theme code.
Can I run WordPress Playground entirely in the browser without CLI?
Yes. You can use playground.wordpress.net with blueprint URL fragments or query parameters, or the live Blueprint Editor to author and test without installing the CLI.
