I have recently incurred a problem when running Spyder 5.0.5 under Anaconda. I believe I have somehow corrupted a Debug start up file and can't figure where the file is located or how to remedy the situation. When running code in Spyder it performs correctly, but if I attempt to run in debug mode I get the following traceback error message:
debugfile('D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable/SiteLoadDisplay1.py', wdir='D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_1468/434203341.py", line 1, in <module>
debugfile('D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable/SiteLoadDisplay1.py', wdir='D:/pvtests/PowerTableTests/PowerTable')

TypeError: runfile() got an unexpected keyword argument 'current_namespace'
This issue began occurring a couple of days ago, I de-installed Anaconda and then reinstalled it, thinking that would clear up the issue, but it didn't fix the problem.
I have also tried the Spyder recommendation of issuing Spyder --reset command from the anaconda power shell console.
Most recently. I tried rebuilding the project.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem, any thoughts on how to correct the issue?
It seems the answer to my question according to the Spyder support group is to reinstall the ipykernel using the following command:
conda install ipykernel=5
