Eclipse 2022-03, -06 with Pydev ignores breakpoints in threads-CodePudding

I am trying to use the Pydev debugger for a multi-threaded application. Any breakpoints set in the threads are ignored and just stepped over. Setup: Eclipse 2022-03 or -06 with Python 3.6. Sample code:

from threading import Thread
from time import sleep


def myasync(f):
    
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        thr = Thread(target = f, args = args, kwargs = kwargs)
        thr.start()
        return thr
    return wrapper


@myasync
def dosomething():
    print('doing something')
    sleep(2)
    print('really busy doing more')   # set breakpoint here
    sleep(2)
    print('something done')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    res = dosomething()
    print(type(res))
    print(res)
    res.join()
    
    print('done')

Setting a breakpoint on the indicated line worked with Eclipse 2021-12 and before. Since then it gets ignored. Interestingly Eclipse About gives the same Pydev Version for 2022-06 and 2021-12 (9.3.0).

Solutions relying on pydevd like this or that do not work.

Using the manual debugger via import pdb; pdb.set_trace() does work, but is not a real option.

Any ideas how I get the Eclipse breakpoints working again?

Immediately after line 89 Successfully Loaded helper lib to set tracing to all threads. comes a 4.01s - pydevd.stoptrace(). in line 90. I think that is where the debugging stops working. Any idea where that comes from?

Converting the 2021-12 workspace for testing this to a 2022-06 workspace I managed to run the test successfully (aka stopping at the breakpoint. But I am lost about why it won't work in my project workspace.

CodePudding user response：

The logs show you're using GEVENT_SUPPORT:True, yet your code doesn't refer to gevent... if you disable it, does it work?

i.e.: in Preferences > PyDev > Debug uncheck Gevent compatible debugging (or unset the GEVENT_SUPPORT environment variable if you're doing it through an environment variable setting).
