A pytest plugin for running the trepan debugger
After installing, to set a breakpoint to enter the trepan debugger:
import pytest
def test_function():
...
pytest.trepan() # get thee into the debugger!
x = 1
...
The above will look like it is stopped at the pytest.trepan()
call. This is most useful when this is the last statement of a
scope. If you want to stop instead before x = 1 pass immediate=False or just False:
import pytest
def test_function():
...
pytest.trepan(immediate=False)
# same as py.trepan(False)
x = 1
...
You can also pass as keyword arguments any parameter accepted by trepan.api.debug().
To have the debugger entered on error, use the --trepan option:
$ py.test --trepan ...
