@viadanna Thanks for this post. I got debugging working as you explain in those directions. Really appreciate it. Do you have any advice for PyCharm debugging with devstack_docker? Here is my progress on this.
One concern I had was that the /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/env/private.py update of the following produced the following error when I did a make stop.all then make dev.up and Django never started until I commented out these lines.
import ptvsd
ptvsd.enable_attach(address=('localhost', 5678), redirect_output=True)
Error
WARNING:py.warnings:/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py:9: DeprecationWarning: 'redirect_output' setting via enable_attach will be deprecated in the future versions of the debugger. This can be set using redirectOutput in Launch config in VS Code, using Tee output option in Visual Studio, or debugOptions configuration for any client.
