Empty --InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines= not needed

[GrazMir]

 if (cmds !== undefined) {
      startupCmd = " --InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines=";

This empty argument is not necessary and crashes the launch.

Got it. Will fix soon.

Just published v2023.2.2 with fixes. If your issue is fixed, please leave a comment and close this issue. Thanks!

Thanks. That's better but I am still having this issue:

[TerminalIPythonApp] CRITICAL | Bad config encountered during initialization:
[TerminalIPythonApp] CRITICAL | The 'exec_lines' trait of a TerminalIPythonApp instance must be a list, but a value of class 'str' (i.e. '%autoreload 2') was specified.

I'll need help with replicating the problem. Can you give me screenshot of the terminal ipython ... call and what version of IPython you're using?

[GrazMir]

The ipython version is: 7.19.0

Hmm, looks like either a bad setting or something wrong with IPython terminal configuration. Are you using a custom IPython profile or something like that?

For reference, here are some configuration I'm using to test the extension:

• My ipython extension setting
• My setting.json with the extra StartupCommands:

  "ipython.CommandLineArguments": "--verbose -h \"test\" --hello -Earth \"World\"",
  "ipython.RunArguments": "-t -N32",
  "ipython.ExecutionLagMilliSec": 96,
  "terminal.integrated.enableMultiLinePasteWarning": false,
  "ipython.LaunchArguments": "--no-autoindent      --matplotlib",
  "ipython.SendCommandMethod": "file",
  "ipython.StartupCommands": [
    "%load_ext autoreload",
    "%autoreload 2"
  ]

• What my IPython terminal startup looks like:

  
  user@DESKTOP:~/Python$ source /home/user/.virtualenv/homework/bin/activate
  (homework) user@DESKTOP:~/Python$ ipython --no-autoindent --matplotlib --InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines='%load_ext autoreload' --InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines='%autoreload 2'
