Question

Trying to find how to execute ipdb (or pdb) commands such as disable.

Calling the h command on disable says

disable bpnumber [bpnumber ...] Disables the breakpoints given as a space separated list of bp numbers.

So how whould I get those bp numbers? was looking through the list of commands and couldn't get any to display the bp numbers

[EDIT] The break, b and info breakpoints commands don't do anything, although in my module i clearly have 1 breakpoint set like this import pdb; pdb.set_trace( ) - same for ipdb. Moreover info is not defined.

The output of help in pdb:

Documented commands (type help ): ======================================== EOF bt cont enable jump pp run unt a c continue exit l q s until alias cl d h
list quit step up args clear debug help n
r tbreak w b commands disable ignore next restart u whatis break condition down j p
return unalias where

Miscellaneous help topics: ========================== exec pdb

Undocumented commands: ====================== retval rv

And for ipdb:

Documented commands (type help ): ======================================== EOF bt cont enable jump pdef psource run unt a c
continue exit l pdoc q s until alias cl
d h list pfile quit step up args clear debug help n pinfo r tbreak w b
commands disable ignore next pinfo2 restart u whatis break condition down j p pp return unalias where

Miscellaneous help topics: ========================== exec pdb

Undocumented commands: ====================== retval rv

I have saved my module as pb3.py and am executing it within the command line like this

python -m pb3 The execution does indeed stop at the breakpoint, but within di pdb (ipdb) console, the commands indicated don't display anything - or display a NameError

If more info is needed, i will provide it.

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

Use the break command. Don't add any line numbers and it will list all instead of adding them.

info breakpoints

or just

info b

lists all breakpoints.
