Debug Mode

zodoo's debug mode lets you debug Python code on a running production system without affecting other users. Only your browser session is routed to the debug container.

How it works​

Your browser (with cookie)
    │
    ├─ Python requests ──→ debug container (your debugger)
    └─ Websocket/other ──→ normal odoo container (unaffected)

A cookie in your browser tells the proxy to route your requests to the debug container. All other users continue using the normal container.

Setup​

1. Make sure zodoo is up to date​

odoo upgrade

2. Start the production system normally​

odoo up -d

3. Start debug mode​

odoo debug odoo_debug

Inside the container prompt that opens, type:

debug

and press ENTER. The debug container starts and attaches to your debugger.

4. Activate debug mode in your browser​

Navigate to:

https://<your-system-url>/debugpython

This sets a cookie in your browser. From now on, your Python requests go to the debug container.

5. Use the system normally​

Open the Odoo application in your browser. Your Python code executes in the debug container where you can set breakpoints, inspect variables, etc.

6. Deactivate debug mode​

https://<your-system-url>/debugpython_off

This removes the cookie. Your requests go back to the normal container.

Local debugging setup (macOS)​

See Local Odoo Development Setup on Mac for configuring VS Code / pudb for local Python debugging.

Debug log level​

Configure the log level inside the debug container:

odoo setting ODOO_DEBUG_LOGLEVEL debug
# options: info, warning, error, debug
