Debugging: xDebug breaks at at sign "@"

[Premitium]

Hi!

I just started debugging with xDebug and Atom and I have stumbled upon a disturbing issue.

 

xDebug always breaks in Media.php here:

 

  if (!@filemtime($file_uri) || @filesize($file_uri) === 0) {

                if (!defined('_PS_HOST_MODE_')) {

                    return false;

                } elseif (!@filemtime($file_uri_host_mode) || @filesize($file_uri_host_mode) === 0) {

                    return false;

                } else {

                    $media_uri = $media_uri_host_mode;

                }

            }

 

Why is someone hiding the errors with "@" http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

 

Do you know how to make xDebug pass by these errors?

 

The whole debugging process becomes pain in the a**!

What I did is to check if the $file_uri exists with an if else statement and removed the error control operators.

 

if (file_exists($file_uri)) {

 

            if (!filemtime($file_uri) || filesize($file_uri) === 0) {

            ....

}

 

Do you think this is a long therm solution?
