Pycharm Debugger

[marcelogpereira]

Hello, I used to work with odoo directly in my machine in order to develop custom code, but i switched to odoo docker this week. The issue is that i cannot find a way to use the pycharm debugger.

Can anyone help me with that?

@marcelopereiraarxi Pycharm and Odoo sucks a bit on Docker. If you want to deploy properly and just open valid ports, the stupid debugger allocates a random port. So you basically have to choose, insecure Odoo on Docker with Pycharm debug or a crappy interface trick using your localhost IP address on the docker network of your sandboxed container. Is frustrating, VSCode uses same underlying debugger and it assigns a static port and just works. Every few months I check whether I can switch back to Pycharm, but VScode for now.
