@ccordoba12 I'm going to take a look at it.

@ram15565 Thanks for the report. Could you tell us a little bit more about what you were doing when the error happened?

For the record, this is not a duplicate, but this is related to Issue #5317. These two issues could probably be fixed with the same PR.

@ccordoba12
This issue is hard to reproduce. So far, I've been able to reproduce it only with the spyder-notebook:

1 - open spyder
2 - go to a notebook tab using the global file switcher (Ctrl+p).
3 - close all tabs of the notebook
4 - open the global file switcher again

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\jsgosselin\spyder\spyder\app\mainwindow.py", line 2798, in open_fileswitcher
    self.fileswitcher.setup()
  File "C:\Users\jsgosselin\spyder\spyder\widgets\fileswitcher.py", line 757, in setup
    current_path = self.current_path
  File "C:\Users\jsgosselin\spyder\spyder\widgets\fileswitcher.py", line 346, in current_path
    return self.paths_by_widget[self.get_widget()]
KeyError: None

So far, I've been unable to reproduce this error with the Editor because I can't find a case when the Editor would allow to have no file opened. It always open a temp or untitled file, thus preventing this error to occur.

So what I can do is to implement a safeguard in the file switcher to handle the case when self.get_widget() returns None.

Sure, I think it's the best solution. @dalthviz, what do think?

[dalthviz]

Yep I think is ok :+1: @ccordoba12, and thanks again @jnsebgosselin for all the good work in the Fileswitcher :)

[jnsebgosselin]

Alright then, I'm going to work on this this weekend. Thanks for the feedback guys.

@jnsebgosselin, any updates on this one?

@ccordoba12 I'm going to work on this this week.
