testing_plugins:testing-plugins-pdb,testing_plugins,testing-plugins-pdb,Using pdb for errors thrown inside Datasette,"If an exception occurs within Datasette itself during a test, the response returned to your plugin will have a  response.status_code  value of 500. 
             You can add  pdb=True  to the  Datasette  constructor to drop into a Python debugger session inside your test run instead of getting back a 500 response code. This is equivalent to running the  datasette  command-line tool with the  --pdb  option. 
             Here's what that looks like in a test function: 
             def test_that_opens_the_debugger_or_errors():
    ds = Datasette([db_path], pdb=True)
    response = await ds.client.get(""/"") 
             If you use this pattern you will need to run  pytest  with the  -s  option to avoid capturing stdin/stdout in order to interact with the debugger prompt.","[""Testing plugins""]",[]
