Docker + Xdebug + VSCode Could not connect to client – Phpmyadmin

PHP version: 7.1.20

XDebug version: 2.7.0

I’m using a Docker container on MacOS Mojave.
On pressing “F5”, it shows debug options Pause, Restart, and Stop. But Step Over, Step Into, Step Out are disabled.

I’m kind of learner because I was used to code till 2012-13 on Windows OS. After that year, I am back to coding this month. 🙂 Even after reviewing a lot of posts on Google about how to resolve this issue, I’m not sure how to finally make it work. Please help.

My launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Listen for XDebug",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "port": 9001,
            "log": true,
            "pathMappings": {
                "/var/www/html": "${workspaceFolder}/learn"
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "Launch currently open script",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
            "port": 9001
        }
    ]
}

XDebug php.ini config:

xdebug.remote_host = 172.20.0.1
xdebug.remote_port = 9001
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_log = "/var/www/html/xdebug.log"
xdebug.idekey = "VSCODE"

XDebug logfile (from setting xdebug.remote_log in php.ini):
