Spyder 2.3.2 : No Python console is currently selected to run

[brendan...@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I recently started using Spyder 2.3.1 (Anaconda 64-bit win) and it was working beautifully. The first time I ran a script the run dialog would pop open and the script would run. But something has become unglued. Today when I try to run a scrip, no dialog pops up. Instead I get the "No Python console is currently selected to run" pop-up. If I restart the kernel, then the script runs without the run dialog. If I change the run settings to run in a new kernel, then it runs. I have tried resetting preferences, and the "Reset Spyder Settings" link in the Anaconda start menu. I have just upgraded to Spyder 2.3.2. The problem remains. For some reason, upon startup Spyder is not picking up the first kernel. Having to hit ctrl-. whenever I start Spyder is not the end of the world, but how can I fix this?

Does this act anything like this?:

So what are your preferences set to in Tools --> Preferences --> Run?

How are you running the script?

In your previous post you mention a pop up dialog. I do not get that on
my machine(openSuse 13.1). What is the dialog?

Run preferences are set to:

Execute in current Python or IPython console.

Default working directory is the script directory.

I am running the script from the script editor i.e. clicking the Run icon or hitting F5.

The popup I describe(from memory since I haven't seen it since this problem started) was the Run Preferences popup. The first time running a script(F5 in the editor) after starting Spyder a popup would open to ask me my run preferences and whether I wanted to see this popup again.

So what happens if you start Spyder, click in either the Python or
IPython console (not the one with the Kernel id as its tab) and then Run?

[brendan...@yahoo.com]

Clicking on the Python console works. I do not have a tab for an IPython console upon startup. Like I said, the odd thing is that this did not happen when I first installed. And all I have done is customize my Spyder layout.

[Adrian Klaver]

So in the Menu under Consoles do you see Open an IPython console?

In your customization, did you happen to remove the IPython pane?
See Menu --> View --> Panes

Sorry, I was mistaken. There is an Ipython console when I start Spyder.

So if you click on the IPython console does Run operate on it?

Yes. If I click on either the Python or IPython console first , Run does operate.

Well, the only way I can get Run not find a console is to have the
Python console that has the Kernel number in the tab be the
current(foremost) console. See attached screenshot.

So in your customizations did you 'hide' the consoles somehow?

Well, that is what happens to me. The Kernel tab is always starting foremost. I tried "Reset Window Layout", restarted Spyder, and the problem went away. However, when I adjust the window layout back to my liking, it breaks again, giving the Kernel focus upon startup. I have attached a screenshot of my layout.

I see. Well in my setup all the consoles are grouped together and when
the IPython console is started it goes to to the top and becomes the
current console. In my previous post I forced the 'Kernel' console to
the top to get the error to trigger. In your setup it looks like the
'Kernel' console becomes the current console, until you click in one of
the others. Seems visible is not necessarily current. Also seems Spyder
does not test for the presence of other open consoles and instead errors
out on first failure. I would file a bug report, because in my mind at
least, Run should skip over the 'Kernel' console and run in the IPython one.
