Did anyone got xDebug working with WSL2?

Hi,

frankenphp itself worked out of the box for me using WSL2(ubuntu22.04) but I can't get xdebug working.
It works fine for console commands, but not for http requests. It simply does nothing and does not show any errors.
I also don't see anything in the logs.

I could find these two errors in the https://localhost/_profiler/xdebug

⚠️ [Step Debug] Creating socket for 'host.docker.internal:9003', poll success, but error: Operation now in progress (29). ⊕
🛑 [Step Debug] Could not connect to debugging client. Tried: host.docker.internal:9003 (through xdebug.client_host/xdebug.client_port).

But I made sure that host.docker.internal:9003 is reachable from the container, so I don't understand the error.

Most likely, your debugger isn't set to accept "external connections"; this is the setting in phpstorm:

I suspect vscode has a similar setting somewhere, but I am not familiar with it.

Also, for wsl2/docker, setting remote host to xdebug://nameserver or xdebug://gateway (the former worked best for me in WSL2's mirrored networking mode).

Problem was on my end. Somehow I ended up with docker installed via windows (docker desktop) and inside WSL2. Uninstalled both then only installed docker desktop, and it works with PHP storm default settings.
