CActiveRecord attributes on debugging

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I’m using Yii 1.1.6 with Netbeans 6.9 and latest xDebug. One thing I’m missing from the debugging environment is the ability to sneak into the active record’s attributes. Is there a way to watch them when debugging?

Thank you.

just a bump because I mispelled the title. I’ve updated it :)

Try




$model->getAttributes();

maybe set the CActiveRecord $_attributes property to public while development only then switch it again when finished, maybe xdebug will show it

Thank you! That did the trick. I can set $_attributes public in my test environment and keep it private in production. I’ll try to remember that when upgrading yii… ;)

With this solution I have to modify my source code whenever I want to have a look at the attributes… It’s a pity not to have a version of xdebug that allows for watching expressions. Thank you anyway!

Do you use XDebug 2.1.0?

yes, this is what phpinfo reports:
