How do I start odoo server (8.0RC1) in debug mode (to use pdb)

Please use a question instead of 'Odoo 8.0RC1' as your title - this tells readers nothing about your problem and forces them to open it to find out. You will increase the chances that someone actually reads your question if you construct your title as a question - like I have changed it to "How do I ..."

Use default python debugger, pdb. Place it in the addons where your code will start execution.

Just write

import pdb;pdb.set_trace()

when you write this line your screen will hold and then you can start debugging line by line using tools provided by pdb. Before starting please do read about the python pdb.

Debug mode

According to odoo.py --help

--debug enable debug mode

so start odoo with

odoo.py --debug

PDB

You have to edit the python file you want to debug by adding a breakpoint with

import pdb

pdb.set_trace()

and start odoo normally.

Thank you for commenting. What I'm trying to figure out is how to start the server on debug mode: i already know how to use a pdb (been using it on previous versions). What I can't seem to achieve is to start odoo server on debug mode.

import pdb

whitch line in to breackpoint (debug mode start) you want, before Add this line pdb.set_trace()

In terminal side

"S" for Next step

Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion (either in a function that is called or on the next line in the current function).

"N" for next line

Continue execution until the next line in the current function is reached or it returns. (The difference between next and step is that step stops inside a called function, while next executes called functions at (nearly) full speed, only stopping at the next line in the current function.)
