If you encounter a grey breakpoint while debugging a Python transform in Foundry, what is the best action to take?

When encountering a grey breakpoint while debugging a Python transform in Foundry, enabling internal libraries debugging in the debugger settings is the most effective action to take. A grey breakpoint typically indicates that the debugger is not currently able to handle the breakpoint due to certain restrictions or configurations in the debugger settings. By enabling internal libraries debugging, you are allowing the debugger to also track and step into the internal libraries that may be invoked in your code. This can provide additional context and visibility into the behavior of your code, helping you to identify issues that may not be evident at a higher level.

Using print statements instead of breakpoints, while a common debugging technique, lacks the precision and interactivity that breakpoints provide. Ignoring the breakpoint would mean missing potentially crucial insights into your code’s execution flow, and removing it altogether would prevent any investigation at that location in the code. Therefore, adjusting the debugger settings enhances your capability to understand and resolve any issues more effectively.
