PyCharm debug console not working

Question

I can run the debugger and put breakpoints to active the console but it appears as if the console doesn't pick up the code I am entering.

I can just type anything but I don't get any ouput,

a=2
print(a)
sfgsmk
..g.bbcvdgdggh

Any ideas how I can get the debug console to run the code I am typing and how to get it to show output.

I am using Community Edition 2017.1.4

Answer 1

Click on the button Show Python Prompt.

Answer 2

This is a known issue but the workaround is to add JB_DISABLE_BUFFERING into your environment variables (no value needed for this key) of your run/debug configuration. This resolved the issue for me on Pycharm Professional Edition 2017.1.5

Answer 3

Adding -s to 'Additional Arguments' in the run configuration helped me with the same issue.
