The root issue is debugging does not work if you have coverage enabled by default (usually on pytest.ini).

To disable just on pycharm, just add --no-cov on the Additional Arguments on the Run/Debug Configurations.
Update Templates -> Python tests -> pytest, so every new test gets this configuration.
After this, delete your current debug settings and redebug it.
