Unable to debug in pycharm with pytest

Question

I cannot debug in PyCharm using py.test. All the test suite is running ok in \"Debug mode\" but it doesn\'t stop on breakpoints.

I also have py

Answer 1

For my situation, i found what the problem is:

If there is --cov in pytest.ini, then breakpoints in pycharm won't work, after deleting all --cov in pytest.ini, the breakpoints in pycharm can work.

Reason:

"The coverage module and pycharm's debugger use the same tracing api (sys.settrace) - they don't work together. " -- https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/131
