forgotten-debug-statement / W1515

Message emitted:

Leaving functions creating breakpoints in production code is not recommended

Description:

Calls to breakpoint(), sys.breakpointhook() and pdb.set_trace() should be removed from code that is not actively being debugged.

Problematic code:

import pdb


def find_the_treasure(clues):
    for clue in clues:
        pdb.set_trace() # [forgotten-debug-statement]
        if "treasure" in clue:
            return True
    return False

treasure_hunt = ["Dead Man's Chest", "X marks the spot", "The treasure is buried near the palm tree"]
find_the_treasure(treasure_hunt)

Correct code:

def find_the_treasure(clues):
    for clue in clues:
        if "treasure" in clue:
            return True
    return False

treasure_hunt = ["Dead Man's Chest", "X marks the spot", "The treasure is buried near the palm tree"]
find_the_treasure(treasure_hunt)
