Debugging in docker containers

[jdittrich]

Story: As a reader of Implementing the Clean Architecture I would like to understand the code by stepping through parts of it it.

Problem: I was unable to set up a VSCode’s debugger to work with the docker containers (Another debugger is also fine – pudb, ipdb probably come without many dependencies)

Hi,
let me check it out. I am not working with VS Code, but I'll do my best to see if I can make it work

In case VS Code does not work well for you, another open source app should do it, too. I just think that PyCharm would work as docker support is only active in the pro version.

I have a project running with VSCode and Devcontainer where I debug using debugpy.

I run the program through:

     - "python"
      - "-m"
      - "debugpy"
      - "--listen"
      - "0.0.0.0:8001"
      - "boy.py"

Then having VSCode listening to the debuger on 8001

Guess you can do smtg similar on local. ;)

@titouanfreville Makes sense, I will try it. What I don't understand though – what/where is boy.py?

[Titouan]

what/where is boy.py?

Oups, sry. Thatcher from my on code.
Here it you should replace boy.py with auctioning_platform/web_app/web_app/app.py` but it would require a Little change in the file as it is made to run through flask command instead of main
