Hi, we are now using pants (1.30.0) for many projects in our monorepo 🎉 one thing that we are to figure out is how to use breakpoints set using the IDE (pycharm or vscode). Did anybody find a way to do this? (I usually use pdb)

Excellent! Glad to hear Do you mean breakpoints when running tests in particular? And to set this via your IDE? Are you using the v1 or v2 backend for Python?

yes, the main use case is when running tests, but they are useful also when running the app. we are using v2 backend (except for mypy)

You can use

test --debug

, which will run the tests interactively in the foreground. https://www.pantsbuild.org/v1.30/docs/python-test-goal#running-tests-interactively

Should probably add a documentation page on this

Page on what in particular?

On how to debug into a test

I’m confused on what you’re suggesting. We do have a section on the

test

page about that already: https://www.pantsbuild.org/v1.30/docs/python-test-goal#running-tests-interactively And it shows a code example of using

pdb

Ah excellent
