Spyder not going through all breakpoints

[carlosloslas]

Hi all,

edit.: After testing more functions and in various ways I have narrowed it down to just the return commands on the functions. Is this a particular option in the preferences?

This may be quite difficult to try and replicate, but I have no idea how this is happening, or how to solve it.

I am running a number of python programes on spyder. In order to try and understand some of the errors in them I am using the awesome breakpoint feature. Strangely It seems to ignore some of the breakpoints completely. This is quite obvious when I place a breakpoint inside a for loop and spyder seems to stop only once if any when I debug the file.

Has anybody else heard of, or come across anything similar? Thanks in a lot in advance.

I enclose my conda and system specs.

I think you need to use the Step into button to remain in the loop.

Hola Carlos,

Thanks for the reply even with the issue closed. I closed it since I found a website with a detailed explanation on the basic commands of the debug method managed to work around the issues. At the moment Spyder is working fine, but every now and then it starts being a bit unstable. I will reinstall it in the near future, since I think I have changed things which probably shouldn't have touched, but I think that its the best way to learn!

Thanks again for the reply Best regards/ Un cordial saludo

No prob, please let us know if you encounter more problems with our debugging support. We are planning to improve it by the end of the year :-)

Y gracias por usar Spyder!!

@ccordoba12 Buenos dias! Update on the issue. Spyder is skipping breakpoints in reasonably long for or while loops and then gives an UnpicklingError: invalid load key, 'C'. in the Internal console.

I have seen similar UnpicklingErrors in forums but i haven't called or touched anything to do with the Python Pickle module

Thanks in advance, Un cordial saludo

[ccordoba12]

Please paste here an example that's giving you that error so we can test it in our side :-)

Hola Carlos,

Sorry for the late reply I handed in my dissertation yesterday I have had incredibly busy days for the past two weeks. Unfortunately I am not able to isolate the error, since it was happening when I was running one of the functions in my dissertation project, and my knowledge on Spyder is limited... : S I just wanted to notify it here and in the event of somebody encountering something similar there would be some kind of prior idea on the subject. : )

Thanks for everything Hope that the next version of Spyder is even better than the current...if its even possible!

[ccordoba12]

It will be, that's for sure!! There are already several minor but cool improvements, and more important things are in the making ;-)

Take a look at

from time to time to read about them.

Y finalmente, felicitaciones por tu tesis!!
