I have Xdebug enabled and working together with OPcache. OPcache module is loaded first by phpfpm (important). If you try to debug the code below (from the browser) and put a breakpoing in the local variables you will see that they are not displayed. If I deactivate OPCache everything works as expected. I'm using PhpStorm 2018.2.5 to debug.
class Foo {
public $member = 'Some value';
public function methodFoo() {
$localFoo = "local2";
}
}
class Bar {
public $firstMember = "foo";
public $secondMember = "bar";
public function create() {
$localBar = 10;
$newFoo = new Foo();
$newFoo->methodFoo();
$localBar += 1;
$this->firstMember = "Other value";
}
}
$foo = "testing";
$bar = "testing2";
$obj = new Bar();
$obj->create();
I do not know if I miss something or it's a bug. Years ago there was a similar bug in xdebug but it was not related to OPcache: bug
I leave the information related to my system and the log of Xdebug

Any help is welcome, thanks :)
I answer myself, in case it serves to someone. This is a feature of OPCache. It optimizes PHP code by sometimes removing variables if they are not needed. Solution: disable OPCache when debugging.
sudo phpdismod opcache
And restart phpfpm or apache according to your environment
sudo service php7.2-fpm restart
or
sudo service apache2 restart
