Settings Stop on Error not working

[keluc]

Bug: Notebook Editor

In the extension settings there is an option "Data Science: Stop On Error. Stop running cells if a cell throws an exception" (python.dataScience.stopOnError).

Is this option not intended to handle errors like in the Jupyter notebook interface (stop execution in the cell causing the error)?

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Enable the setting "Data Science: Stop On Error. Stop running cells if a cell throws an exception"
2. Create new Jupyter notebook with 3 cells (1st and 3rd cell a print statement, 2nd cell raise an exception)

Actual behavior

1. All cells are executed

Expected behavior

1. Execution stops after the 2nd cell like in the jupyter notebook interface.

hi @keluc , did you reload the window after changing the setting? You can do so by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and selecting "Developer: Reload Window"

[keluc]

not at first but I've tried it several times but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Ok, we will take a look into this, thanks!

same here on WinPython-3.8.5.0rc / vscode-1.48.0 / python-vscode-2020-8-101144

In addition to the issue described above, if you execute a number of cells above a certain cell and those take some time to be executed (indicator [*]), you can execute the last cell and this one gets a prompt number before the other cells are finished.

If you execute all from the beginning it seems to execute in the correct order (at least the number of times I tried)

In the jupyter notebook or lab the execution order is always maintained.

Is this behaviour caused by the same issue?

Validated. Will be in our next major release.
