Pycharm debugger doesn't stop at any breakpoint

Hello,

Could you please share idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after reproducing the issue? You could use any online service or our FTP: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems

Hi Yaroslav, 

Thanks for responding. I have uploaded the file into your site using https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com. The file name is "idea - guoming - 20180308.log". 

Could you please set environment variable PYCHARM_DEBUG=True (you can do it in Run configuration) and provide us a console output?

Yaroslav, 

Here is the logs. Note that I have masked information that's specific to our project.

Sorry for the delay.

We have similar issue under investigation: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-28384. Please try provided workaround.

Unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem. 

Please keep following issue on YouTrack for updates. We'll try to provide fix or workaround as soon as possible.

I'm seeing this same issue (breakpoints not being triggered) running PyCharm 2018.2.

The debug session starts with

C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2018.1.2\bin\runnerw.exe" C:\Users\bfarrell\PycharmProjects\gen2portal\djangoportal\venv\Scripts\python.exe "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2018.1.2\helpers\pydev\pydevd.py" --multiproc --qt-support=auto --client 127.0.0.1 --port 55098 --file C:/Users/bfarrell/PycharmProjects/gen2portal/djangoportal/manage.py runserver localhost:8001

It's very frustrating as this worked fine before upgrading PyCharm.

FYI I uploaded the idea.log as 

ideaLogBFarrell20180809.log

Separate ticket: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-31300

Hi, i faced the same issues ,

i am using Mac OS 10.13.6 ,python 2.7.9 using Virtualenv and i noticed that after recent update to pycharm 2018.3 ,

some of my python modules cannot debug , pycharm itself can connect to the debugger on the same project ,but is strange in one of my folders which consist of many different python modules ,some how in that folder all the modules, when i set break point , it just wont triggered the debug . So I did a simple test ,after exhausting all web searches , i moved the effected modules to another folder which consists of other modules that has no problem in triggering the break points , 

BINGO , the break points works again , i not too sure what happened , but mean time , i use this method temporary as i have spent much time in finding solutions with no progress, i desperately need the debug function for my code . Hope this can give some insight for the pycharm developers to track what went wrong and come up some fixes for this . thanks. 

Hi Kalmenchia, more details are welcome, what was the original folder name? Could you please create a ticket in our bug tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY?

for me it helped when I've set "Working directory" and "Path mappings" in "Run -> Edit Configurations"

MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Pycharm v2019.1.3.

I had the same issue, IDE suddenly stopped stopping at breakpoints.

Simply setting the working directory under run configurations made it to work again.

macOS 10.14.5

PyCharm v2019.1.3

I had the same issue too.

I have the same issue on 2019.2. Pycharm stop at breakpoint in the start file but any breakpoints in my package modules are ignored. I do not change any default settings of debugger

I have the same problem as Solozhentsev after I upgraded to 2019.2 recently. Please help!

For anyone having the same problem, it works again if I rollback to 2019.1.3

Yes, definitely seems to be a new issue introduced in 2019.2

Yes. Facing the same issue. Debug was working fine friday before mac update was run. I am using 2019.1.2 (Community Edition). I tried upgrading to 2019.1.3 but same issue continues.

Workaround - I deleted .idea folder and reconfigure all, breakpoins works again

I'm having the same problem, deleting the .idea folder doesn't seem to fix it for me.

I'm using 2019.2 build 192.5728.105

Python 3.6.5

Same Issue. Is there any work around? Tried setting Working Directory, but did'nt change anything.

Also deleted .idea, same.

Solved for me after disabling Coverage from pytests

What do you mean by 'disabling Coverage from pytests'? I'm not using coverage, I'm just using the pycharm debugger.

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

There are few known issues with debugger skipping breakpoints, such as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-36993 and https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-37124

If you are facing one of those issues, please upvote and follow it for updates.

In case the problem is different, please file another ticket to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY

For the investigation, please add PYCHARM_DEBUG=True environment variable to your run configuration, debug (to reproduce the problem) and provide the whole console output in the description/comments of your ticket.

My problem is a bit different, the debugger seems to stop at all breakpoints within the main module, but skips all breakpoints in any other module. I have the exact same project with identical settings on my laptop which has Pycharm 2019.1.4 and it doesn't skip any breakpoints.

I have the logs and console output from running it with `PYCHARM_DEBUG=True`, but I don't know if this warrants a separate ticket. I've never filed a ticket before, so I'm not sure what I should write if I do need to submit it.

Hi Jayden,

Since the same project works fine in 2019.1.4, would be great if you could provide the project or its relevant part for reproducing.

If it's not possible, file a ticket to YouTrack using the above-provided link and attach the console output (after setting PYCHARM_DEBUG=True)  along with the logs.

Here is a link to the project: https://bitbucket.org/JaydenKing32/comp335-sim-viz/src/debug/

Please use the 'debug' branch, it exhibits the same behaviour that I have described, but it doesn't require command line arguments like the master branch. I've also commented out the code that produces visual output, as it may be distracting and the behaviour still occurs without it. Ignore the README, it's for a previous version.

`sim_viz.py` is the main file, but I want to debug the `get_servers_from_system` function from `server.py`, which is called on line 26 of `sim_viz.py`. For example, I set breakpoints on lines 24 and 30 of `sim_viz.py` and line 136 of `server.py`, which is the first line of the `get_servers_from_system` function. If I run a debug with `sim_viz.py` execution will stop on line 24, if I press the resume button then the execution will continue to line 30, skipping the breakpoint in `get_servers_from_system`.

I believe it's https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-37124, the problem is caused by a filename.

Yes, changing the name of `server.py` fixes the problem. I thought it was just a coincidence that ticket had a `server.py` file, I didn't realise it was specifically referring to the name of the file.
