Hello Team,
I tried reinstalling, again the same issue.
Steps followed:
- Uninstall Anaconda
- Install latest Python 3.7 64-bit
- Launch Spyder (it works)
- Run
conda update anaconda - Run
conda install spyder=4.1.4. Spyder no longer works
Error displayed when Spyder launched from Anaconda Environment is mentioned below:
ARB::createContext: wglCreateContextAttribsARB() failed (GL error code: 0x0) for format: QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SwapBehavior(DefaultSwapBehavior), swapInterval 1, profile QSurfaceFormat::OpenGLContextProfile(NoProfile)), shared context: 0x0 (The operation completed successfully.)<br>GDI::createContext: wglCreateContext failed. (The operation completed successfully.)<br>Unable to create a GL Context.<br>
If I try to run my python code via Qt prompt using command runfile('MyFile.py', wdir='MyDir'), it says runfile not found. However, I am able to run my script using command %run "MyFile.py"

Hi team, I have the same IndexError: pop index out of range error. If I can help with providing any additional information, feel free to reach out.
Downgrading spyder to 4.1.3 solves the error.

Same problem here.
spyder 4.1.4
python 3.8.3
qt 5.9.7
pyqt 5.9.2

Same problem 4.1.4 did work for a while then would not start giving similar error message.
Downgrading to 4.1.3 works perfectly.

To all people that have posted here: please close Spyder, open the Anaconda Prompt, run there
spyder --reset
and try again.

spyder --reset worked for me.
Before running that command, I made a backup of my .spyder-py3 folder to copy the old files back and see what might have caused the problem. Initially it seemed as if the pylint.results file might have been the culprit, but now I can't reproduce it. Maybe someone could try to simply delete that file and see if that solves things.

Yes. that's the culprit.

I can confirm that only deleting the pylint.results file solves the error so there is no need for the spyder --reset command in case someone wants to keep their preferences.

@steff456, please take a look at this one to prevent it from happening (it's a very serious bug).

My problem is that I reverted back to Spyder 4.1.3.
My Anaconda will not allow any upgrade to 4.1.4 so that I can try the suggested workarounds.
It tells me there is an upgrade available but when run it just finishes without upgrading to 4.1.4.
