It's running your code. It seems the issue is your code produces no output. When running from the Command Line Interface, there needs to be an executed print statement to see output. Perhaps your code doesn't reach such a statement during execution.

I'm that good!! JK :grin:. Perhaps the file changes hadn't been save to disk yet thus it was running an old or stale version without print statements.
