You can connect the debugger in your editor, for example with Visual Studio Code or PyCharm.
|
||||
|
||||
## Call `uvicorn`
|
||||
|
||||
In your FastAPI application, import and run `uvicorn` directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```Python hl_lines="1 15"
|
||||
{!./src/debugging/tutorial001.py!}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### About `__name__ == "__main__"`
|
||||
|
||||
The main purpose of the `__name__ == "__main__"` is to have some code that is executed when your file is called with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python myapp.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
but is not called when another file imports it, like in:
|
||||
|
||||
```Python
|
||||
from myapp import app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### More details
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say your file is named `myapp.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you run it with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python myapp.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
then the internal variable `__name__` in your file, created automatically by Python, will have as value the string `"__main__"`.
|
||||
|
||||
So, the section:
|
||||
|
||||
```Python
|
||||
uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
will run.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
This won't happen if you import that module (file).
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you have another file `importer.py` with:
|
||||
|
||||
```Python
|
||||
from myapp import app
|
||||
|
||||
# Some more code
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
in that case, the automatic variable inside of `myapp.py` will not have the variable `__name__` with a value of `"__main__"`.
|
||||
|
||||
So, the line:
|
||||
|
||||
```Python
|
||||
uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
will not be executed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Run your code with your debugger
|
||||
|
||||
Because you are running the Uvicorn server directly from your code, you can call your Python program (your FastAPI application) directly form the debugger.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For example, in Visual Studio Code, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
* Go to the "Debug" panel.
|
||||
* "Add configuration...".
|
||||
* Select "Python"
|
||||
* Run the debugger with the option "`Python: Current File (Integrated Terminal)`".
|
||||
|
||||
It will then start the server with your **FastAPI** code, stop at your breakpoints, etc.
