composer update/require slow when enable XDebug in CLI environment
Recently I find there will be some issue to use composer command, which seems too slow to finish.
After my investigation, I find that this problem is often related to xdebug lodaed (doesn't matter if enabled or not) in my CLI environment.
We can check wether xdebug is enabled for CLI using:
// unix
php -m | grep xdebugSolution:
Further information what operations take so long can be gained by enabling maximum verbosity and profiling information:
composer install --prefer-dist -vvv --profileor
composer update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile
finally I run the command which worked:
composer require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar --dev --ignore-platform-reqs -vvv --profile
