Debugging Django tests within Pycharm

Hi,

I recently switched to using Pycharm and loving it so far however I am having a problem debugging my nose tests within the IDE. The tests are executed fine and I can see the output and success/failures in the Debug console however when I set a breakpoint in the test code it is never hit.

Breakpoints function totally fine when I debug the Django App itself and set them in application code.

I was wondering if anybody else was able to debug test code using Pycharm and if so could you recommend a run configuration that would allow this functionality.

Previous to using Pycharm I would run tests like so, I would like to execute tests using the same type of runner but with the ability to step through the tests.

$: python manage.py test project –settings=project.settings.test

Thanks.

I don't use nose, but breakpoints in tests (including django tests) do work for me as long as I invoke them with the "Debug" action instead of the "Run" action.
