#22371 Invalid option `extra_requirements` when using `ipdb` Issue created by fillipe-gsm Describe the bug I was following the documentation page on Debugging, and I wanted to use the better debugger

ipbd

. I added the lines [pytest] extra_requirements.add = ["ipdb"] as documented there to my

pants.toml

file. However, when running any command, such as

pants version

, it fails with: 105359.33 [ERROR] Invalid option 'extra_requirements' under [pytest] in pants.toml 105359.33 [ERROR] Invalid config entries detected. See log for details on which entries to update or remove. I tried researching a lot about this, and it looks like this entry has been removed. If that is the case, it got left incorrectly in the documentation. Can you confirm if that is the case? And if so, what is the recommended approach for using

ipdb

with

pants

? Pants version I tested it with versions 2.20.0 and 2.26.0 OS Are you encountering the bug on MacOS, Linux, or both? I tested in on Ubuntu 20.04. Additional info My current workaround to use

ipdb

is to have a

requirements.txt

file with

ipdb

in it, and in my config: [pytest] requirements = ["//:requirements"] Then I run

generate-lockfiles

and so the line

import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

begins working. However, it lacks the auto-completion of custom objects, but at least is way better than regular

pdb

in which not even backspace works. pantsbuild/pants
