How to debug Python app by Pycharm

I wrote dynamic programming language from working to now. Most of my time also use print(Python), console.log(JS), puts(Ruby) to debug any scripts or web apps. from my before experience, I only know Ruby had byebug package which could write a byebug line in your code and run it, it will show something information that you could debug in the terminal.

This is my first know debug method in dynamic languages … XD

In this article, I will take you to know how to debug Python apps by Pycharm which was I learn recently…😆

1. Open your project and click the dropdown button

2. Select Edit Configurations.

3. Click ＋ ➡️ Select Python ➡️ Choose your script or web entrance file ➡️ Set Environment Variables if your app needs ➡️ Apply and OK.
   

4. Click + adding a variable, fill the variable key and value column.

5. The name would map your task name.

6. Finally, you will get a task which like following name api debug(It’s my task name).

7. Put red icon in a line(or two red icon become a scope), Click the bug button to start the debug mode🎉

8. Then you can see code information(variables, library…) at IDE.

If you run web app, you need to give API a action, then debug mode will be trigger.

Conclusion

This is my first time using debug mode in dynamic languages by Python. Write down my experience when I forgot steps on another day… XD
