Common errors

error ERROR: usage: pytest [options] [file_or_dir] ... pytest: error: unrecognized arguments: --pudb ↓

cause The plugin is not installed or not activated.

fix

Ensure pytest-pudb is installed and run pytest with the -p pudb option.

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pudb' ↓

cause PuDB is not installed.

fix

Run pip install pudb in addition to pytest-pudb.

Warnings

gotcha The `--pudb` flag must be used explicitly; just installing the plugin does not automatically activate the debugger. ↓

fix Run `pytest --pudb` or set the environment variable `PYTEST_PLUGINS=pudb`.

deprecated Python 2 support is deprecated. The plugin may not be compatible with Python 3.11+ if no active maintenance. ↓

fix Use Python 3.8-3.10 or consider alternative debugger plugins like pytest-pdb.

Quickstart

Enable PuDB debugger during pytest. Use -p pudb or environment variable.

import os
os.environ['PYTEST_PLUGINS'] = 'pudb'  # Or use -p pudb
# Then run: pytest --pudb
