Django view won't stop at breakpoint using Eclipse environment

Looks like a stupid question, but I just can't make the code execution stop at breakpointenter image description here

I tried to run the project by both pressing F9 and F11, but it still does not stop at the breakpoint. I use the local url http://127.0.0.1:8000/task_list/ which should call the createTask view. And it does actually call the view, and everything works perfect with the only exception that the debugger ignores all my breakpoints

Solution

  • Most major ide's have two different ways of running normally,

    • Debug - This is usually denoted by some sort of bug image (as shown in your screenshot) or separate symbol

    • Run - This is usually a "play" button

    The debug mode is the one you want, this is the one that inserts debug symbols. The run doesn't set any of these up so you will find that your program may run slightly faster this way, which makes it more advantageous when modifying files that don't require you to restart the server.
