Configure Debugger Options

PyCharm supports debugging for Pythonand Django applications, classes, and files. The debugging functionality is incorporated in PyCharm, you only need to configure its settings.

Depending on the plugins enabled, PyCharm can also support debugging for other languages, for example, JavaScript.

In PyCharm, the JavaScript debugger works out of the box and in most cases its default settings are sufficient. If necessary, you can configure the debugger as described in Configuring JavaScript debugger.

PyCharm supports debugging client-side applications running on the built-in or an external web server. Debugging can be performed only using Google Chrome and other browsers of the Chrome family.
