I'm trying to debug a python hug API with pdb.
The regular hug api is started with:
hug -f api.py
You can start pdb from the command line via python interpreter using:
python -m pdb api.py
Where api.py contains hug routes, directives etc. api.py however needs to be run with hug -f api.py which doesn't accept -m pdb.
eg: hug -m pdb -f api.py doesn't work.
I also tried creating a debug.py file and import api.py into it with debugging started. But it doesn't register the routes in api.py.
import pdb
from api import *
@hug.startup()
def startup(args):
"""Starts api and debugging"""
pdb.set_trace()
The hug server starts ok, but without any routes defined in api.py.
At the moment I'm resorting to having to put pdb.set_trace() directly into one of the routes in api.py. This works but is tedious. Ideally there should be a way to start api.py with hug and pdb debugging and set breakpoints dynamically without restarting hug.
