Setup:

  • FastAPI running inside Docker container, python3.12 image.
  • Connection to it via VSCode remote attach debugger

This works if the application is started via python -m debugpy --listen 0.0.0.0:5680 --wait-for-client main.py

docker run --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/home/app -p 5680:5680 -p 8080:8080 my_image

However if I add the following lines to the main.py:

debugpy.listen(("0.0.0.0", 5680))
debugpy.wait_for_client()

and then start the server with python main.py (so the CMD field in the Dockerfile reads CMD ["python", "main.py"]:

I get that debugpy can't listen on 5680 as the address is already in use

debugpy.listen(("0.0.0.0", 5680))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/debugpy/public_api.py", line 31, in wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/debugpy/server/api.py", line 133, in debug
    log.reraise_exception("{0}() failed:", func.__name__, level="info")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/debugpy/server/api.py", line 131, in debug
    return func(address, settrace_kwargs, **kwargs)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/debugpy/server/api.py", line 260, in listen
    raise RuntimeError(str(endpoints["error"]))
RuntimeError: Can't listen for client connections: [Errno 98] Address already in use

It'd be really great if I could do things this way -- multiple use cases and less code change for development environments.

What am I doing wrong with this?

  • When you say "if I start it...", what action exactly are you taking? Is the Docker setup involved here at all? Commented Jul 31 at 16:17
  • maybe previous debugger is still running. And sometimes system is blocking port for short time after closing connection and it needs to wait a bit. Commented Jul 31 at 16:20
  • Thankyou, should be clearer now @DavidMaze Commented Jul 31 at 16:36
