Hello all!
I've just released the first version of a new py.test plugin which will allow you to use a remote Python debug server. This will, for instance, come in especially handy if you want to find out why a particular unittest is failing in a web application.
Simply fire up your debug server in your IDE (PyDev or PyCharm) e.g. on localhost:8042 and run your unittests with
py.test --pydevd=your-ip:8042
If you have set a break point you should soon see the effects.
Enjoy! Sebastian
P.S. Feedback is always welcome!
Forgot to mention: code lives on bitbucket.org https://bitbucket.org/basti/pytest-pydev Sorry! Sebastian
