workspace not working

To locate the problem, could you tell us the difference between yours and the video?

It doesn't go into the console when I input "python f'ilename'.py"

it repeats the same line next.

Hope this clarifies.

Can you paste the exact line you are typing in the console?

For example, if I have a hello_world.py file in my workspace containing

print("Hello World")

To call it, I will then proceed to the console below and type.

python hello_world.py

This should give me the result:

"Hello World"

Make sure you have some kind of print or return in your code, otherwise its just going to return nothing!

If I understand you correctly, the problem is that when you try to type into the command line no input appears? I've had this problem as well. Workspaces is kind of janky and buggy, at least it has been for me. Sometimes when writing code in the editor and then trying to switch to the command line, it seems to become confused as to where the cursor should be.

This was my solution; I would scroll down to the bottom of the document I was editing and click on the empty line at the bottom of my script. Once sure the cursor was placed at the bottom of the document I would then click over the command line and try to enter my text. Usually this worked though sometimes i would have to do it a few times. I'm not sure what causes this issue but it seems to be a problem of transistioning between the editor and the command line, one of many bugs i found while working with workspaces. I recommend working offline if you can.

Hope that helps.
