If you want to enter debugging when running pytest in VSCode and stay at a line of code, you could click ‘Debug Test‘ at the top of the method after selecting the pytest test, as shown in the screenshot:
In addition, "python.testing.pytestArgs": [], in .vscode\settings.json is the folder path of the tested file, for example, my test file is in Test_cc under the a folder.
> "python.testing.pytestArgs": [
> "a/Test_cc"
> ],
If this is not what you want, please let me know and describe the details of your needs.
Reference: Debug tests.
Update:
Usually, when we debug the test in VSCode, without setting a breakpoint for it, it will only display the test result. (success or failure).
It will only display relevant test information in the console OUTPUT.
When I use the extension ‘Python Test Explorer for Visual Studio code‘, it will display the debugging test information on the console, prompting the issue.
