Can't debug Django app but run success
Hi, I have problem that can't debug Django project but cat run success.
In debug mode, I set breakpoints, the Django project can run and jump over the breakpoints not pause at breakpoints.
I can debug a single python file successful, but just Django project can't debug . And there with any exception
This is a part of my Django code, as you can see, I print * is working, but breakpoint I set is not working that jump over the breakpoints
print('*' * 100)
This is my Django Debug Configurations, set PYCHARM_DEBUG= True
While I debug a signal python file, the debug is working normal
My Pycharm version:
Can you help me to solve this problem? thank you!

Hi,
Please check if the issue is reproduced in PyCharm 2022.1 (https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/)
If it does, please check if the issue is reproduced in another simple Django project. You can use my test project for this -- https://github.com/aresler/django_dbg_test
I have the same problem
I found that as long as the package name is "django", this problem occurs
I understand the problem is already old, but I just encountered a similar case, so I'll tell you about it.
The thing is, the PyCharm debugger uses the
sys.settracefunction to set its own tracing function, so if you have a process that has already captured this API, the debugger does not stop at breakpoints during program execution.The well-known case is the pytest-coverage module, but I came across another one.
I enabled the
django-debug-toolbar-line-profilingmodule, which similarly capturedsys.settraceand displaced the debugger.So, if your debugger stopped working somewhere, think about which modules might be setting their own tracing function.
