Is there a way to have the python debugger always pause before exiting?-CodePudding

I can set breakpoints, but often I just want to look at some variables after I run a test.

Is there a way to debug a pytest test in vscode and just have it always pause before exiting? Without me setting break points or writing pause statements?

CodePudding user response：

You can set specific final actions from within pytest tearDown methods:

pytest_runtest_teardown(item, nextitem)

pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call)

pytest_runtest_logreport(report)

pytest_exception_interact(call, report)

(More info on that here: https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference/reference.html)

These methods can exist in a conftest.py file.

Eg:

def pytest_runtest_teardown(item):
    ...
    # Do something after every test that runs.

This existing Stack Overflow solution can give you a good start on possible implementations: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40446593/7058266

From there, you can have your tests do whatever you want... print variables, use breakpoints, etc.
