how to debug python fabric using pycharm

Question

There are some posts on SO and tell me to use fab-script.py as startup script for pycharm. It's exactly what I used before. Now when I upgrade fabric to latest version, fab-script disappeared, and only fab.exe left there. I tried a lot of other ways, but still failed to launch debugger in pycharm.

Answer 1

The final solution is to add line below at fabfile.py:

import fabric.main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fabric.main.main()

then you can debug the fabfile.py as a normal python script in pycharm.

For Fabric 2 users this should work (tested on Fabric 2.6.0):

import fabric.main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fabric.main.program.run()
