Description
The Django test runner currently does not offer a --pdb option like pytest (which, when a test fails, pops open a PDB debugger at that location). This would be incredibly valuable for debugging tests, and I feel we should add it.
Because of the multi-process nature of the test runner, this would only be possible if we were running with --parallel=1.

This is great.
...this would only be possible if we were running with
--parallel=1.
As per my comment on the PR, if I pass --pdb could --parallel=1 be implied? (I always want that right?)

OK. (We can always come back if people decide they want that.). Good work.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
We should probably make the option default to
ipdbif it's installed like we do withmanage.py shellfor IPython.
