Run/Debug Configuration: Python

Script path/Module name

Click the list to select a type of target to run. Then, in the corresponding field, specify the path to the Python script or the module name to be executed.

You can use path variables in this field.

Parameters

In this field, specify parameters to be passed to the Python script.

When specifying the script parameters, follow these rules:

• Use spaces to separate individual script parameters.

• Script parameters containing spaces should be delimited with double quotes, for example, some" "param or "some param".

• If script parameter includes double quotes, escape the double quotes with backslashes, for example:

  -s"main.snap_source_dirs=[\"pcomponents/src/main/python\"]" -s"http.cc_port=8189" -s"backdoor.port=9189" -s"main.metadata={\"location\": \"B\", \"language\": \"python\"}"

Allow multiple instances

Select this option if you want to allow multiple instances of the configuration to run at the same time. If this option is disabled, attempting to re-run the configuration will terminate the active session.

Environment

Project

Click this list to select one of the projects, opened in the same IntelliJ IDEA window, where this run/debug configuration should be used. If there is only one open project, this field is not displayed.

Environment variables

This field shows the list of environment variables. If the list contains several variables, they are delimited with semicolons.

By default, the field contains the variable PYTHONUNBUFFERED set to 1. To fill in the list, click the browse button, or press Shift+Enter and specify the desired set of environment variables in the Environment Variables dialog.

To create a new variable, click , and type the desired name and value.

You might want to populate the list with the variables stored as a series of records in a text file, for example:

Just copy the list of variables from the text file and click Paste () in the Environmental Variables dialog. The variables will be added to the table. Click Ok to complete the task. At any time, you can select all variables in the Environment Variables dialog, click Copy , and paste them into a text file.

Emulate terminal in output node

Select this checkbox to emulate the terminal in the Run tool window.

Show command line afterwards

Select this checkbox to leave the console opened after a project run or a debug session, saving its context.

Python Interpreter

Interpreter options

In this field, specify the command-line options to be passed to the interpreter. If necessary, click , and type the string in the editor.

Working directory

Specify a directory to be used by the running task.

• When a default run/debug configuration is created by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F10, or by choosing Run from the context menu of a script, the working directory is the one that contains the executable script. This directory may differ from the project directory.

• When this field is left blank, the bin directory of the IntelliJ IDEA installation will be used.

You can use path variables in this field.

Path mappings

This field appears, if a remote interpreter has been selected in the field Python interpreter.

Click the browse button to define the required mappings between the local and remote paths. In the Edit Path Mappings dialog, use / buttons to create new mappings, or delete the selected ones.

Add content roots to PYTHONPATH

Select this checkbox to add all content roots of your project to the environment variable PYTHONPATH;

Docker container settings

Click to open the dialog and specify the following settings:

Options

• Disable networking: select this checkbox to have the networking disabled. This corresponds to --net="none", which means that inside a container the external network resources are not available.

• Network mode: corresponds to the other values of the option --net.

  • bridge is the default value. An IP address will be allocated for container on the bridge’s network and traffic will be routed through this bridge to the container.

    Containers can communicate via their IP addresses by default. To communicate by name, they must be linked.

  • host: use the host's network stack inside the container.

  • container:<name|id>: use the network stack of another container, specified via its name or id.

  For more information, refer to the Network settings documentation.

• Links: Use this section to link the container to be created with the other containers. This is applicable to Network mode = bridge and corresponds to the --link option.

• Publish all ports: Expose all container ports to the host. This corresponds to the option --publish-all.

• Port bindings: Specify the list of port bindings. Similar to using the -p option with docker run.

• Extra hosts: This corresponds to the --add-host option. For more information, refer to Managing /etc/hosts.

• Volume bindings: Use this field to specify the bindings between the special folders-volumes and the folders of the computer, where the Docker daemon runs. This corresponds to the -v option. For more information, refer to Managing data in containers.

• Environment variables: Use this field to specify the list of environment variables and their values. This corresponds to the -e option. For more information, refer to ENV (environment variables).
