I cannot debug in PyCharm using py.test. All the test suite is running ok in "Debug mode" but it doesn't stop on breakpoints.
I also have py.test as the default test runner.
Maybe this is not important, but debugging works correctly in my Django server.
Any ideas?

What fixed the problem for me is enabling the "Gevent compatible" checkbox the File → Settings → Build, Execution and Deployment → Python Debugger (not "Debugger"). Show activity on this post. I was using pyCharm 2018.1.
Just right-click any line in the editor and select the Debug <filename> command from the context menu. After the program has been suspended, use the debugger to get the information about the state of the program and how it changes during running.
For my situation, I found what the problem is:
If there is --cov in pytest.ini, then breakpoints in pycharm won't work, after deleting all --cov in pytest.ini, the breakpoints in pycharm can work.
Reason:
"The coverage module and pycharm's debugger use the same tracing api (sys.settrace) - they don't work together. " -- https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/131
