[xdebug-general] Re: coverage not reported on code being executed

I may be misunderstanding, or perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my
explanation. The code coverage task is failing when it tries to set
up the database because of things like undefined indices. Naturally,
I would expect the warnings that show up during test execution to be
seen by XDebug as well, and if its a fatal error then the test (and
coverage) fails. But I would not expect XDebug to complain about
anything other than invalid syntax when setting up the coverage
database.
