IPython has no attribute 'user_ns'

[BorislavBlagoev]

I connect my IDE to Databricks cluster via databricks-connect and I get this error when I try to execute the following code:
code:

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()


def get_dbutils(spark):
    try:
        from pyspark.dbutils import DBUtils
        dbutils = DBUtils(spark)
    except ImportError:
        import IPython
        dbutils = IPython.get_ipython().user_ns["dbutils"]
    return dbutils


dbutils = get_dbutils(spark)
dbutils.widgets

exceptions:
dbutils.widgets
AttributeError: 'DBUtils' object has no attribute 'widgets'

or

dbutils = IPython.get_ipython().user_ns["dbutils"]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'user_ns'

depends on which code is executed

get_ipython will only return a shell instance if you are actually running under ipython (or an ipykernel_launcher session). How are you actually executing your code?

You might need to embed IPython to get access to all the goodies.

I execute it with start button in pycharm.

Can you configure said button to run ipython? Is there a support forum for that product where others may have tried similar things?
