Spyder: KeyError in PyLS when getting a hover

[parichaya]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have code that uses Argparse (which I am practicing). When I open Spyder, I run the file. Then I select a variable in the editor, and this error keeps popping up as soon as it is highlighted by Spyder. I restarted Spyder, and the issue seems to persist.

Traceback

Also, I am using Spyder Beta using pip on my Ubuntu machine (not conda), just in case it helps. Please do let me know if there is any other details I can provide.

[ccordoba12]

I have code that uses Argparse (which I am practicing)

Please post a simple code that generates this error. Without that we can't help you.

[parichaya]

Hi @ccordoba12 , sorry about the delayed response. I don't think this is due to specific code in question, as other people seem to be having similar behavior with different code. However, here is the code snippet I used. I have changed the content of the strings.

import argparse

if __name__=='__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

    # Parser Characteristics
    parser.description = "generic description"
    parser.epilog = "more details"
    parser.prog = "project_name"

    # Parser Arguments

    parser.add_argument("x", 
                        type=int, 
                        help="the base")
    parser.add_argument("y", 
                        type=int, 
                        help="the exponent")

    # Let's try out groups


    # Create parser instance
    args = parser.parse_args()

    answer = args.x ** args.y

I click on "answer" above and the error occurs. Hope this helps.

Do let me know if you need any other details. Thank you for helping with the development of Spyder - the beta looks so awesome!!!

[ccordoba12]

I click on "args" above and the error occurs

What do you mean by this? You just did a simple mouse click or a Ctrl+click?

Thank you for helping with the development of Spyder - the beta looks so awesome!!!

Thanks for your kind words!

[parichaya]

I did a simple mouse (left) click on the variable "args" (and not a Ctrl+click) - I think this is the very first time something is clicked within the editor window after Spyder is started.

[ccordoba12]

So when does this happen exactly? You just open Spyder, make a mouse click on any file and the error is triggered?

[parichaya]

I made a small screen video recording of exactly what happens, I hope this helps.

Please let me know it is not playing for any reason.

[ccordoba12]

Thanks a lot for the video! I was able to reproduce the error and now I know how to solve it.

[parichaya]

Thank you! :) :+1: Happy I could help!

[ccordoba12]

Please run

pip install jedi==0.14.1 python-language-server==0.28.1

to fix this.
