You might also want to add these two lines of code to the end of your test file so you can re-run the test after hitting a breakpoint.

Thanks for this, very helpful now that I'm back into developing on my Wagtail CMS, which is Django based. This worked perfectly and will greatly increase my productivity. Cheers!

great video but not working in window based visual studio django ...i dont know why

[olivierdeplanques]

Great video very clear thanks. I didn't know the corey's tutorial (thanks for the link).
i just don't understand how to debug generic views, because in views.py instead of return render (....) you have just a class declaration. A good example is in the tutorial of thenewboston chap 29 on youtube (best tutorial serie i've seen) :
At 2:20 he changes views for generic views but i haven't found how to debug that.
