Failed to start PyCharm debug console

Question

I can run the debugger and set breakpoints for the active console, but it looks like the console is not picking up the code that I entered.

I can just type something, but I don’t get any output,

a=2
print(a)
sfgsmk
..g.bbcvdgdggh

Any ideas how I can get the debug console to run the code I'm typing, and how to get it to show the output.

I am using Community Edition 2017.1.4

Answer 1

This is a known issue , but a workaround is to add JB_DISABLE_BUFFERINGyour startup / debug configuration to the environment variables (this key does not require a value). This resolved the issue for me on Pycharm Professional Edition 2017.1.5

Answer 2

Show Python Prompt.
