Debug Tornado Web Server in Pycharm

Question

Is there anyone who can debug the code run in Tornado Web Server in Pycharm?

I searched the question in google, but I can not found the answer.

Answer 1

Here are the steps I used:

• In your PyCharm project, create a new Python file called tornado_test.py and paste the contents of the hello world example on Tornado's docs.
• Right click on the newly created file and select Debug 'tornado_test'
• Create a breakpoint on line 13 ( self.write("Hello, world") ) using left-click next to the line number
• Open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/ (it should start waiting for a response)
• Go back to PyCharm and your breakpoint should be activated (you can now debug the code, see variables such as request for example)

Of course you need to have Tornado installed in the (virtual) Python environment you use in PyCharm.
