copied!<p>Having used Eclipse to launch xdebug sessions in Firefox for ever now, all of a sudden 23/4/2013 it would not launch xdebug using Firefox. It gave me the launch 57% and hang problem.</p> <p>It was quite happy to launch xdebug sessions in IE/Chrome/Safari/Opera but not Firefox.</p> <p>The only thing I changed around this time was I upgrades my java runtime to 1.7.0_21 from a previous version ( cannot remember which but I did jump more than one release so it was probably 1.7.0_19 )</p> <p>I took a look at the project log file, Check your projects workspace folder for a subfolder called .metadata where there should be a .log file, there is one of these for each project so be sure you are looking at the correct one.</p> <p>This is what was in mine:</p> <blockquote> <p>!SESSION 2013-04-23 11:06:21.238 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=M20130204-1200 java.version=1.7.0_21 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_GB Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86</p> <p>!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.browser 4 0 2013-04-23 11:07:32.584 !MESSAGE Launching C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe has failed. !STACK 0 java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.browser.browsers.MozillaBrowser$BrowserThread.openBrowser(MozillaBrowser.java:94) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.browser.browsers.MozillaBrowser$BrowserThread.run(MozillaBrowser.java:165) Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source) ... 6 more</p> </blockquote> <p>Because I saw this line java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program": CreateProcess error=2, </p> <p>It made me thinks that for some reason java could no longer cope with folder names with spaces in them (very strange), so I changed the eclipse preferences and used the 8.3 naming convension C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe</p> <p>Now it launches the xdebug session again!!</p> <p>This is very strange as it does not seem to have problems with </p> <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe OR C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.exe OR C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe </code></pre> <p>So all I can think of is that it does not like 2 folder names with spaces in them for some obsqure reason, because it wont launch firefox from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe I assume it launches IE from a similiar folder named address as it is the default browser on this system.</p> <p>Anyhow, the solution for me was to change the eclipse preferences ->General -> Web Browser -> Firefox to use the 8.3 DOS directory naming convension.</p> <p>Hope this helps</p>
