That would both off-load Travis CI overall and make our builds faster: [https://derickrethans.nl/crafty-code-coverage.html](https://derickrethans.nl/crafty-code-coverage.html) Thanks to @derickr ---

We are having apparently the problems stated in [that post](https://derickrethans.nl/crafty-code-coverage.html). With PHP 7.4 and XDebug 2.8.1 it [stops after 50 minutes](https://travis-ci.org/sonata-project/SonataAdminBundle/jobs/633096375). ---

[Xdebug 2.9.1 was released](https://twitter.com/derickr/status/1217863293207044097) with some fixes for regressions caused by the speed improvements. @BanzaiMan do you know if xdebug 2.9 is coming to the php images or are there any issues with support for this version? ---

It should be available for 7.4.0 and 7.4.1 (a.k.a. 7.4) for Xenial and later now.

Cool, thanks @BanzaiMan! Is it maybe possible to upgrade to 2.9.1 because it contains some fixes for speed regressions. ---

What kind of speedup are you talking about? Repackaging the existing archives is not entirely impossible but tedious and could result in a brief period of unavailability (given the current status of tooling involved). So unless the benefit is huge, I’d like to punt until the next version. Oh, and php-build would have to support this version, too. See: e.g., > ---

@BanzaiMan Nevermind! I’ve misread the tweet of xdebug about a bugfix. It’s about a regression in the stepdebugger > Xdebug 2.9.1 released,which should address the step debugger slowdown introduced in 2.8 I’ve just tested the new php builds and it seems I already see around 50% faster build with code coverage. Thanks a lot!
