I wrote unittest-based tests with pytest. according to this document: https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/how-to/unittest.html then I tried to run the tests by Python testing in Visual Studio Code according to this document: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/testing but when I select the Debug Test icon next to that test in the Test Explorer. VS Code starts the debugger but it doesn't pause at the breakpoints. how can I make it to stop at the breakpoints?
According to what has been explained here, when we use "--cov" option for pytest, the VSCode doesn't stop at breakpoints. So the solution is to disable cov while debugging according to this in your VSCode launch.json add the followings:
// your other settings are here
{
"name": "Debug Unit Test",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"justMyCode": true,
"program": "${file}",
"purpose": ["debug-test"],
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"env": {
"PYTEST_ADDOPTS": "--no-cov"
},
}
