Python Spyder console "action.setEnabled(enable and WINPDB_PATH is not None)"

[schengnz]

I am a newbie to Fusion 360 scripting and I have likely done something stupid. If so, my advance apologies.

I have tried running example scripts (and my own simple script) directly in Fusion 360 and they work fine.

However when run in Spyder environment, the example scripts don't seem to run at all, and display the following symptoms. I have done a search on this board and Google and can't find any info about it.

- The internal console shows many of these messages:

File "C:\Users\XX\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\a906a4b5ad17e39452da8cb08ea66b9baa6e0954\Spyder\spyderlib\plugins\editor.py", line 1392, in opened_files_list_changed
action.setEnabled(enable and WINPDB_PATH is not None)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setEnabled'
- The breakdown on the first line of code never get triggered.

I would greatly appreciate your pointers.

Thank you.

I am having the exact same issue - didn't see your post so I made a nearly identical one a minute ago, don't know how to delete it...

This is the first problem I've heard of this problem.  Can both of you provide some more information so we can try and track down the cause?  Are you on Mac or Windows?  If Mac, did you install from the Mac App Store?  What is the exact behavior?  Are you invoking Spyder by choosing a script and selecting the "Debug" option?  Does the error show up immediately or are you doing something else before the error dialog is displayed?  Any information you can provide will help us to figure out the cause of the problem.  Thank you.

The internal console should not show up, this is an error in the updated spyder, we'll fix it in the coming release.

But the breakdown on the first line should still be working, you can run the current line step by step by pressing Ctrl+F10 even you don't see a break point added automatically on the first line.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Now we have a workaround for this issue. 

Please open the preferences dialog from Tools menu in Spyder and turn off the option below:

BTW, it looks this issue would not block any workflows, user interface messages would not be blocked either.

I am using Windows. I opened spyder by choosing a script and selecting "Edit". Then using either Run or Debug causes the internal console to pop up and display the error repeatedly. It then stays open and continues to flash the error, filling up with an endless stream of the error repeated. I followed the instructions below which did fix the issue.
