I will post the picture of what exactly I am asking variable explorer in spyder
So do we have this feature in VS code?
I tried a lot to find it on google but was unhappy to not find it.
Open your .py script in vscode
Right click anywhere on the script > Run current File in interactive Window
In the toolbar of the interactive window click on the variable icon
You can now consult the values of variables created by your script
spyder is probably running a REPL (Jupyter is doing that also). From that python process they show the local and global variables, just like a debugger would do on a breakpoint.
If you use Python Interactive you have similar functionality with the Variables Explorer and Data Viewer or use Jupyter notebooks
You can now find all variables in a Jupyter Notebook in VS Code in the Output panel under Jupyter: Variables
My VS code terminal was working fine, until one day when I tried to work on a project, that was still open in VS code, my terminal didn't allow me to type any commands. I couldn't type anything. This is the screen that I get.
Okay, for those of you struggling with the same problem, I've managed to solve it by clicking on the drop-down menu that says powershell and changing it to cmd.
this happened to me and simply
close vs code
right click on it
run as administrator
open the terminal and it will work
this problem happened when I changed the default path of CMD
For me, I tried using Powershell/CMD/Bash and I was having errors/blank terminal. I found typing echo hello and pressing CTRL + C made it appear. So in fact, everything was working, my terminal was just blank/glitched out, but was really accepting input.
I had a similar issue when running ionic serve command which runs the development server on the localhost. I paid attention after executing the command above, and it said:
Use Ctrl+C to quit this process
Pressing Ctrl+C then displays:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Type Y or y
then the command prompt is shown again!
Here is a sample terminal window - trimmed for brevity:
For who has this problem using React. This happens when you start a live version using npm start. The terminal that handles the live version of the app cannot be used for anything else.
So to continue using the terminal you need to open a new terminal to use in parallel. To do so just click on the plus icon in the top right corner of the terminal panel then choose the "Power Shell" option. This will open a new terminal without restarting visual studio.
In Mac, when working with Python, this helped me: instead of clicking on the "Run Code" option, click on "Run Python file", in the right corner.
For Ubuntu users this is solved by this solution:
File -> Preferences -> Setting -> Features -> Terminal -> Inherit Env
I found two vscode on my desktop, I opened the other one and it worked. Looks like I updated it but the older one didn't disappear.
If typing Ctrl+C can help to get out of this frozen state, that will be easier to do with VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022)
The terminal can type the answer for you.
Terminal -- Auto-reply
The terminal is now able to automatically reply when a specific sequences of characters is received.
A good example of where this is useful, which is also the only default case, is the Windows batch script message Terminate batch job (Y/N)? after hitting Ctrl+C when running a batch script.
This typically just ends up causing problems for the user.
The terminal will now automatically reply with Y and enter (\r) which makes Ctrl+C in Windows feel much better.
Pressing Ctrl+C will immediately reply to the question and return to the prompt:
Theme: Sapphire
The feature was made generically so you can setup custom replies for other thing, just be careful when doing this as you are sending text to the process automatically.
For example you could use it to automatically update Oh My Zsh when prompted:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"[Oh My Zsh] Would you like to check for updates? [Y/n]": "Y\r"
}
If you use Clink and enable their similar feature, you can disable it in Clink or in VS Code by setting the reply to null to avoid the two features conflicting with each other:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"Terminate batch job (Y/N)": null
}
Go to terminal, preferences, settings.
Check "run code in terminal"
Restart VS.
I changed from bash to powershell in terminal first but the command prompt still not shown.
Then I navigate to File -> Perferences -> Settings and it starts working (command prompt shown)
This seems to just be a display problem. It happened to me when I changed my display settings for desktop icon and app scaling settings.
I managed to fix the problem by simply restarting my computer and re-opening VS code
I had the same problem ... In my case just run vs-code as administrator and works
So I'm working on two machines and they both have Eclipse and Pydev on them. The first machine has a console that has a prompt where I can type in and execute commands when I run on:
The second machine doesn't have the same prompt and I can't figure out how to get it:
I've been looking around online and the closest piece of advice I found is that I need to find the console button on the menu bar next to the tabs and select to show/hide the prompt, but as you can see it's doesn't show up on the second machine. Does anyone know how to I can get the console prompt on the second machine?
Found the issue. I was using PyDev 2.8.2 which didn't support the prompt, I updated to 4.5.4 (higher versions don't show up in my eclipse) and now I'm able to see it.
(In Windows 10, I have installed ...\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy that includes Python 2.7, %PATH% points to Canopy)
I have seen this link, and want to make interactively debug Python code running in PyXLL work via that eclipse_debug.py.
So I have done the following:
1) erase PYTHONPATH in the control panel of Windows (as a result, echo %PYTHONPATH% returns %PYTHONPATH%).
2) modify only the first line of eclipse_debug.py to be eclipse_roots = [r"C:\my_path_to\eclipse"].
3) add eclipse_debug.py to pyxll.cfg
4) define a function hello
5) launch debug servier in eclipse, and then launch Excel, and then reload PyXLL
Here is a screenshot:
1) So, it shows that the function hello does work.
2) However, I don't see any excel menu item related to debugger, whereas their link promises This module adds an Excel menu item to attach to the PyDev debugger, and also an Excel macro so that this script can be run outside of Excel and call PyXLL to attach to the PyDev debugger. In other words, I don't see how interactive debug is enabled here.
Could anyone tell me what this eclipse_debug.py supposed to do?
Well, from what I can tell by looking at it, eclipse_debug.py adds the PyDev Remote Debugger (http://www.pydev.org/manual_adv_remote_debugger.html) to the PYTHONPATH and starts it.
Now, how do you make a Python script such as eclipse_debug.py appear as a menu in PyXLL is something I'm not familiar with.
The most likely cause is that it's looking for pydevd but is unable to find it on your python path or where it's looking under the eclipse root. If that's the case there will be some output in the pyxll log file and that will be why the menu item is not appearing.
You should check the log file for errors, and hopefully that will tell you what is going wrong.
I am coding in PyCharm Community Edition and making use of the IPython embed function to debug my code. When I run the code, the code stops on the line I have embed and the IPython interactive shell appears at the bottom of PyCharm in the "Run" window. I can inspect my variables and run commands, but all the IPython autocomplete (i.e. tabs) and up and down keys (to retrieve previous commands) don't work anymore. Does anyone know how to get this working from within PyCharm?
Thank you.
