Lesson 5: Error importing plugin "db": No module named 'db'

[holah-reiken]

I'm in lesson 5, Brownie Simple Storage. Along the way I've needed to make adjustments for newer versions and needed packages, etc, and I'm fairly handy at that. However. I can't resolve this, when I try to duplicate the video example of using the debugger with brownie. Any ideas?

Hello @holah-reiken
What the -pdb flag stands for?

[holah-reiken]

Per the lesson, it invokes the debugger so you can step through the code.

[cromewar]

I asked because based on the output
ImportError: Error importing plugin "db": No module named 'db'
Seem not to be recognizing that command.
So please, could you share:

1. the code of your test.
2. try to tun it just with brownie test -s -k testName.

I am following the steps exactly on the video at timestamp 04:52:20 and using the source code from the course.
However, I figured out my problem. I had ony a single dash (-pdb) instead of double (--pdb)
It work as expected with the double dash. Thanks for your replies.

I'm glad is solved now, please feel free to ask any other question.
