I’m trying to debug using pycharm but im tackling a problem..
Because of the sandbox feature, pycharm doesn’t know where the files are and I can’t do manually path mappings because the folder name is some generated guid.
I tried to disable the sandbox(run_goal_use_sandbox=False) which worked but I feel like it’s not the right solution and another larger problem is that I can’t disable the sandbox when running tests.
I would love some help please :pray: 

There is documentation for this: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/docs/python/goals/test#debugging-tests>

<@U051221NF> It doesn’t help about how can I debug in sandbox?

It should let you attach pycharm to a remote debugging server running in the venv of your test, isn’t that what you want?

You can also run with `--keep-sandboxes=always`, and poke around directly in the sandbox

(all the sandbox locations are logged to the console, find the one that matters, typically the `pytest` invocation one, and you can `cd` into it and run whatever you like in there)
