Hi @dan123456-eng thank you for the feedback! Spyder only supports debugging Python so that's way the button is grayed out for non-python files.

I'm not totally sure if there is something we can do about that but just in case pinging @ccordoba12 and @impact27 (maybe they could give a better explanation fo this behavior)

Yeah, that's basically the reason.

I'm not totally sure if there is something we can do about that

Well, we could try to support the Debug adapter protocol for other languages, but I don't think our own Python debugger would work well with it. In any case, this is not in our roadmap for the future.

@dan123456-eng, could you explain why you'd like to see this functionality in Spyder?

[dan123456-eng]

hi @dalthviz, @ccordoba12 and @impact27 thanks for feedbeck! At the moment this functionality is not so necessary. I'm going to discuss it with our project people here.

I will talk to the person dedicated to external languages about the Debug adapter protocol for other languages and update this issue. At the moment I'm learning about it.

A doubt aroset. If the Run current cell, Go to next and Run selection or current line buttons would not be abilitated after Run file?

Unlike what was said at the beginning of this issue, would it be weird if buttons were enabled for languages other than .py, but not performed debug actions

So, you mean that you're seeing the run buttons as enabled for files that are not Python? Unfortunately, that's not what I'm seeing on my end:

However, we're showing most debugger buttons as enabled, as can be seen in my screenshot. That's already fixed in master and it'll be part of Spyder 6.

Wonderful, very good.

Hello @ccordoba12 sorry! Buttons are not enabled for external languages here. I asked if it would be strange if the buttons only enabled but did not debug for external languages.

You're right, that's strange and it's actually a user interface bug. However, since it's already fixed and the fix will be part of Spyder 6, I don't know if it's ok for you to close this issue.

[dan123456-eng]

hello @ccordoba12 can close the issue. thank you so much for the dedication.

[ccordoba12]

Closing then. Thanks a lot also for your interest and contributions to make Spyder better.
