Project description

PyPI version Python versions See Build Status on Travis CI

A pytest plugin to easily enable debugging tests within Visual Studio Code.

Features

Enables debugging a test session within Visual Studio Code, via attaching the debugger.

Installation

You can install “pytest-vscodedebug” via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install pytest-vscodedebug

You will need to configure the debugging in Visual Studio Code, via editing .vscode/launch.json:

{
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Python: Remote Attach",
      "type": "python",
      "request": "attach",
      "connect": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 10001,
      },
      "pathMappings": [
        {
          "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
          "remoteRoot": "."
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Usage

You can enable pytest-vscodedebug when running tests with the --vscodedebug flag:

$ py.test --vscodedebug test_testfile.py

By default, it will listen on port 10001, but you can change it via the --vscodedebug-port option:

$ py.test --vscodedebug --vscodedebug-port=5001 test_testfile.py
