%%pixie_debugger interferes with global scope variables?

[jerrykaplan]

I'm a total newbie on this so its probably "user error", but...

I have a Jupyter Notebook that runs without errors. I've installed pixiedust, and am trying to use %%pixie_debugger as an IDE in a particular cell.

Running the same cell without the debugger, no errors.

With the debugger, and with no breakpoints set, if I click "continue to next breakpoint" (yellow "play" icon), I get a "name error" referring to a variable that is set in the global context.

I would expect the code to execute the same way with or without the %%pixie_debugger line of code?

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks

can you please paste the content of the cell you're trying to run. Thanks

Thanks David - But basically I've moved on and used another solution. "Upgraded" to Jupiter Labs, and now just set breakpoint(s), and inspect with pdb. Too bad there isn't a more "visual" debugger for Labs, meaning one that's more than a command line debugger. I hope someone gets Pixie_debugger running in that environment.
