How to trigger werkzeug debugger

Dash Python
1

I’m trying to intentionally enter the Werkzeug interactive debugger using the snippet below, and placing debug() at desired breakpoints, but the browser never enter the debugger. All I get is an AssertionError in the command prompt.

if os.environ.get('FLASK_ENV') == 'development':
    DEBUG = True
else:
    DEBUG = False

def debug():
    assert DEBUG == False

I’m trying to use this as an alternative to when ipdb doesn’t behave well, and until the highly anticipated dash-dev-tools comes out!

Is anyone also experiencing issues with intentionally entering the werkzeug interactive debugger?
