Hey, I think this bug is actually belonging to the Nova project rather then OpenStack-Ansible, as that's basically a question regarding specific service source code rather then a deployment of this service.
Next to that, I'd say that conductor part is likely to be catched not through nova-api but rather through nova-conductor service. But also - that's RPC which is likely run in async way which might be really tricky to catch with pdb. But I'll leave this to answer for Nova folks. ** Project changed: openstack-ansible => nova -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

I am trying to debug nova-api service. I have inserted "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" at line 412 in the file "/openstack/venvs/nova-27.3.0/lib/python3.8/site- packages/nova/conductor/rpcapi.py" , then started the service manually from the prompt as shown below: --- root#: /openstack/venvs/uwsgi-27.3.0-python3/bin/uwsgi --autoload --ini /etc/uwsgi/nova-api-os-compute.ini After the launching the above command, I am trying to launch a vm using the nova command. It is dropping into the pdb shell but going to the next line after the prompt and waiting. when I input any pdb command, it is not responding as shown above. --- Nova API policies are introducing new default roles with scope_type capabilities. Old policies are deprecated and silently going to be ignored in nova 23.0.0 release. . Either ensure your deployment is ready for the new default or copy/paste the deprecated policy into your policy file and maintain it manually. warnings.warn(deprecated_msg) > /openstack/venvs/nova-27.3.0/lib/python3.8/site-packages/nova/conductor/rpcapi.py(413)schedule_and_build_instances() -> cctxt = self.client.prepare(version=version) (Pdb) ---- I have attached a clip for reference.
