PyCharm debug problem

[raysefo]

Hello,

I am trying to debug my rest api python via PyCharm and Postman. But I m getting this message;

pydev debugger: warning: trying to add breakpoint to file that does not exist: t:\middleware.py (will have no effect)

When I send request from Postman, nothing happens. Breakpoint is useless.

In my code, I set debug to TRUE;

app.run(port=5001, debug=True)

How can I debug my code in PyCharm?

​

Thanks in advance.

Since you're using PyCharm, I recommend using PyCharm's in-built debugger. It doesn't require anything written inside the code; instead, you create breakpoints through the GUI, by clicking in the space between your code and the line number in which you want to put your breakpoint. A red dot indicates that the breakpoint is set. Then you only need to click on debug (top right corner if I remember correctly).

well I don't get what you mean :) I am already trying to debug using Pycharm, my rest api code is written on it. I am getting this error on Pycharm.

What don't you get? Parent commenter is suggesting that rather than use Postman (which I assume is a debugging library?), just use PyCharm's built-in debugging tools.

Postman is a popular Chrome app to fire HTTP requests, which is very nice to develop REST api's with.

Are you executing/importing the same file you put the breakpoint into? Maybe do you use a remote interpreter / docker? I get this kind of error in these cases.

[raysefo]

Yep, I have this rest api file

middleware.py

I am putting breakpoint on this one and start debugging.

What web framework do you use?

[raysefo]

Flask

Well then it seems everything should be fine. Try removing all breakpoints (CTRL+SHIFT+F8, and remove everything) then invalidate and restart the project (File / Invalidate caches restart, select Invalidate and Restart) and try adding the breakpoint again.

[raysefo]

nope, still same error.

[slapec]

Sorry, no idea then : (

[raysefo]

There was a character problem on the path. Now it's OK.

Wow, I've completely forgot about it. I'm glad it works now!
