Enable WordPress debugging and map debug.log file for wp-env

.wp-env.json

{
  "plugins": ["."],
  "config": {
    "WP_DEBUG": true,
    "WP_DEBUG_LOG": true,
    "SCRIPT_DEBUG": true,
    "WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY": true,
    "WP_PHP_BINARY": "php"
  },
  "mappings": {
    "wp-content/debug.log": "./debug.log"
  }
}

Thank you for a useful config snippet

Mapping is not working properly for me (directory ./debug.log is created instead of file) to fix need to remove folder and create locally file ./debug.log with appropriate permissions

I had the same issue

Hi @greenworld, I use another way to fix it

    "config": {
        "WP_DEBUG": true,
        "WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY": true,
        "SCRIPT_DEBUG": false,
        "WP_DEBUG_LOG": "/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/[plugin-slug]/debug.log"
    }

@greenworld @lbonomo Are you guys on Linux by any chance? I believe it has to do with mappings expecting a directory mapping, yet debug.log is a file.

Another fix is to move it inside a directory and map that instead.

{
    "mappings": {
        "./wp-content/logs": "./logs"
    },
    "config": {
        "WP_DEBUG_LOG": "/var/www/html/wp-content/logs/debug.log"
    }
}

Thank you @dannyvankooten this helped !
👍

and yes, i'm on Linux (and wp-env uses docker under the hood)
