Spyder 5.0.5 Debug Startup Error

[Robert Hentz]

I have recently incurred a problem when running Spyder 5.0.5 under Anaconda.  I believe I have somehow corrupted a Debug start up file and can't figure where the file is located or how to remedy the situation.  When running code in Spyder it performs correctly, but if I attempt to run in debug mode I get the following traceback error message:

    debugfile('D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable/SiteLoadDisplay1.py', wdir='D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    
      File "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_1468/434203341.py", line 1, in <module>
        debugfile('D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable/SiteLoadDisplay1.py', wdir='D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable')
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\customize\spydercustomize.py", line 589, in debugfile
        enter_debugger(
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\customize\spyderpdb.py", line 773, in enter_debugger
        debugger.run(code)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\customize\spyderpdb.py", line 716, in run
        super(SpyderPdb, self).run(cmd, globals, locals)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\bdb.py", line 580, in run
        exec(cmd, globals, locals)
    
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    TypeError: runfile() got an unexpected keyword argument 'current_namespace'

This issue began occurring a couple of days ago, I de-installed Anaconda and then reinstalled it, thinking that would clear up the issue, but it didn't fix the problem.

I have also tried the Spyder recommendation of issuing `Spyder --reset` command from the anaconda power shell console.

Most recently. I tried rebuilding the project.

Has anyone encountered this type of problem, any thoughts on how to correct the issue?

Hi Robert,

You need to downgrade ipykernel to fix this problem. For that, please close Spyder, open the Anaconda Prompt andrun there

    conda install ipykernel=5


Cheers,
Carlos
