PHP Xdebug doesn't debug on xampp

Question

When I try to debug my php code I get the error:

Error: spawn php ENOENT
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:264:19)
    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:456:16)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:84:9) {
  errno: 'ENOENT',
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'spawn php',
  path: 'php',
  spawnargs: [
    'c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\fantatools\\wordpress\\wp-content\\themes\\feisar\\api\\calendario.php'
  ]
}

I followed the xdebug wizard instruction but it's still not working:

Download php_xdebug-2.9.1-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll
Move the downloaded file to C:\xampp\php\ext
Edit C:\xampp\php\php.ini C:\WINDOWS\php.ini and add the line zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.9.1-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll
Make sure that zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.9.1-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll is below the line for OPcache.
Restart the webserver

"Edit C:\xampp\php\php.ini C:\WINDOWS\php.ini" — the wizard should give you one file, not two. Were there really 2? Also, does Xdebug show up in your normal phpinfo() output? Is PHP on the path? The error that you get from VSCode indicates that it is not. — Derick

I had the same error message, but with xdebug 3.0.1, and it turns out that the traditional method for setting the xdebug has changed. Currently starting xdebug3 is as follows:

VS Code (launch.js)

  {
        // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
        // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
        // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "name": "Listen for XDebug",
                "type": "php",
                "request": "launch",
                "port": 9003,
                "pathMappings": {
                    "your filepath": "${workspaceRoot}",
                }
            }
        ]
    }

PHP INI

[xdebug]
zend_extension="your xdebug library"
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request = yes
xdebug.discover_client_host = true
