我可以在 Bazel 测试中使用 Python 调试器吗

Question

I am trying to debug my tests using pdb (Python debugger) while running them with bazel.

This is a sample test I have:

class TestMembersResource(TestCase):

    def test_get(self):
        response = self.client.get('/api/v1/members/')
        import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code)

When I try to run it with bazel test... I get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/root/.cache/bazel/_bazel_root/ae988d93859d448ae36776fcb135b36c/execroot/__main__/bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/webserver/members/api/tests/test_members_resource.runfiles/__main__/webserver/members/api/tests/test_members_resource.py", line 22, in test_get
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200,
    File "/root/.cache/bazel/_bazel_root/ae988d93859d448ae36776fcb135b36c/execroot/__main__/bazel-out/k8-fastbuild/bin/webserver/members/api/tests/test_members_resource.runfiles/__main__/webserver/members/api/tests/test_members_resource.py", line 22, in test_get
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200,
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bdb.py", line 49, in trace_dispatch
    return self.dispatch_line(frame)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bdb.py", line 68, in dispatch_line
    if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
BdbQuit

Without pdb everything works pretty smooth.

Is there a way to get an interactive shell and use the standard pdb commands with bazel test?

Thanks!

你需要使用--run_under ：

bazel test --run_under=/usr/bin/pdb //webserver/members/api/tests:test_members_resource

Answer 2

You can do this using the --run_under flag, as mentioned. It's important to note that you need to point to the pdb.py for your python install. To find where to point to, you can do the following:

Check where your python version is installed. This should be using something like python2.7, or python3.6, not just python or python3, as those are frequently just symlinks.

$ which python3.6
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6

Note that this is where the binary is located, while we want to point to a library file. To do so, replace the last bin with lib, and specify the desired file, something like this:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/pdb.py

Now you can run your targets like this:

bazel run --run_under="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/pdb.py"

Answer 3

Alternatively to using bazel's --run_under , you can also just set a breakpoint() (builtin function, no import needed) anywhere is your code and just do a normal bazel run . When the interpreter hits the breakpoint, it will open pdb .

Optional but very helpful: Use pudb via

pip install pudb
export PYTHONBREAKPOINT="pudb.set_trace"
# add breakpoint() to your code
bazel run PYTHON_TARGET
