Using debugger breakpoints in Edx-Discovery with docker

I am currently setting up Edx-Discovery with dockers. and it is working perfectly. https://github.com/edx/course-discovery

Down the line, I had to use breakpoints for debugging, I used nose.tools but I was unable to use the debugger, it stopped somewhere though but I had no control to check the values of the variables.

from nose.tools import set_trace;set_trace()

Now, My question is, is there anyway, I can have breakpoints in dockers like we use it normally in a programming language? Is there something I am missing here?

Solution

  • The requirement has been updated in edx dockers stack. Now for debugging tools, use the following command.

    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
