How can I debug my Python unit tests effectively?

You can use the built-in pdb module to set breakpoints and step through your code. Would you like a quick example?

Yes, please! How do I set a breakpoint?

You can set a breakpoint by adding import pdb; pdb.set_trace() in your test code where you want to pause execution.

What if I want to see the values of variables at that point?

Once the execution is paused, you can type the variable name in the console to see its value. You can also use commands like print(variable_name).

Are there any other tools I can use for debugging?

Yes, you can also use IDEs like PyCharm or Visual Studio Code, which have built-in debugging tools that make it easier.
