 * 1. git clone [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop](https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop)
   
   c:\wordpress-develop directory is created. 2. installed npm, docker, and visual
   studio code ide 3. In c:\wordpress-develop folder, I typed – npm run env:start
   Now docker desktop shows three containers; everything is working at this point.
   localhost url – localhost:8889 How do I debug my localhost using the visual studio
   code editor? Do I just need to set up a breakpoint and then click start Debugging?
   Do I need to edit docker-compose.yml? HELP!!! Thank you

    My latest update: Now I can debug using VS code
   and I changed .env (see below). # Whether or not to enable Xdebug. # LOCAL_PHP_XDEBUG
   =false LOCAL_PHP_XDEBUG=true run npm run env:start NOW DOCKER 3 CONTAINS are 
   running. mysql-1, php-1 and wordpress-develop-1. start my VSC editor and loaded
   files from c:\wordpress-develop\src. Select Start Debugging from Run menu (below
   is my stack trace)
 *     ```
       Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\wordpress-develop\src\wp-includes\class-wpdb.php:1978
