README

DebugKit provides a debugging toolbar and enhanced debugging tools for CakePHP applications. It lets you quickly see configuration data, log messages, SQL queries, and timing data for your application.

⚠️ DebugKit is only intended for use in single-user local development environments. You should avoid using DebugKit in shared development environments, staging environments, or any environment where you need to keep configuration data and environment variables hidden. ⚠️

Requirements

• SQLite (pdo_sqlite) or another database driver that CakePHP can talk to. By default DebugKit will use SQLite, if you need to use a different database see the Database Configuration section in the documentation linked below.

For details and older versions see version map.

Installation

• Install the plugin with Composer from your CakePHP Project's ROOT directory (where the composer.json file is located)

php composer.phar require --dev cakephp/debug_kit:"^5.0"

• Load the plugin

bin/cake plugin load DebugKit --only-debug

Is DebugKit not working?

If you don't see a CakePHP icon on the bottom right of your page DebugKit is not be working correctly. Some common problems are:

1. Your PHP environment doesn't have SQLite installed. Check your application logs to confirm if this happening. You can either configure DebugKit to use a different database, or install the PDO SQLite 3 extension.
2. Your hostname needs to be added to the DebugKit.safeTld. If your local domain isn't a known development environment name, DebugKit will disable itself to protect a potentially non-development environment.
3. If you are using the Authorization Plugin you need to set DebugKit.ignoreAuthorization to true in your config.
