Hello! I have a Dev who wishes to use emacs as their IDE for metaflow work and pdb as the debugger? Early exploration indicates this may not work, as the debugger hangs at checkpoint. Does anyone have this environment working, specifically using pdb with metaflow? 🙏

would any of the options listed here work?

Yes, I think that's the direction we are largely aligned with, however there is a Dev that prefers to use pdb with emacs, however

I do this when running the flow locally by adding

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

in the part of the code I want to debug. It will hang if running the flow remotely though, in which case you will need something like

remote-pdb

and network connectivity to the instance
