pdb bypass error/Jump failed: can only jump from a 'line' trace event












1















I'm trying to debug a Python program using pdb. The program could be like this:



def main():
a = 1
print(b)
c = 2
d = 3


Apparently, print(b) is a typo which should be print(a) but it is not important and I can fix it with the text editor but I want to bypass this error and continue debugging.



I tried jump, like jump 4(assuming "c=2" is line 4) but I was given error "Jump failed: f_lineno can only be set by a line trace function", which means I need to give a line trace function when I'm programming.



So, is there a way to deal with this problem, or is there some other way to bypass the error line when using pdb?

          I'm not sure, but this may be a bug that was fixed in Mar 2018, so you may need to (patch, upgrade, reinstall?) your Python.
