The output when I run code in VSCode gets displayed in the terminal window instead of the output window

Question

I tried some of the solutions posted earlier in similar questions but none of them seem to work for me. My code is in Python 3.8 and I am using the latest version of VSCode. Thanks.

Answer 1

Install "Code Runner" extension.

• VS Code -> Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X) in the most left panel -> text box "Search Extensions in Marketplace" -> Code Runner -> Install

Setting up Code Runner

• VS Code -> File -> Preferences -> Settings (Ctrl+,) -> text box "Search settings" -> Code Runner -> ensure that checkbox for "Code-runner: Run In Terminal" is unchecked.

Running Python Scripts

• Prepare a Python code you want to run -> Press Ctrl+Alt+N to run the code via Code Runner.
• If the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+N is already taken e.g. by another software, you can change the shortcut
  • File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+K Ctrl+S) -> search: Code Runner -> Run Code

If you want to clear previous output (from OUTPUT window) -> File -> Preferences -> Settings (Ctrl+,) -> text box "Search settings" -> Code Runner -> ensure that checkbox for "Code-runner: Clear Previous Output" is checked.

Make sure you've the code runner extension installed. If yes then,enter image description here Go to settings , 1.search Terminal 2. scroll to the last line 3. uncheck code run in terminal

Answer 3

When running python code in VS Code, it executes the running command in the VS Code internal terminal ( TERMINAL ) by default. It is a terminal that allows user interaction, but "OUTPUT" is an output terminal, which cannot receive user input.

For how to make the output display in "OUTPUT" in VS Code:

Please use the "Code Runner" extension in VS Code, which uses "OUTPUT" by default:

In addition, if you want to use relatively clean output, you could also use "DEBUG CONSOLE".

Please use in "launch.json": "console": "internalConsole", then click F5 to debug the code:
