PyCharm + pyqt5 - Does not produce window
I have PyQT5 installed and Python 3.8. Running a simple application that just creates the main window works fine when executed from a command prompt. If executed from PyCharm the main window does not appear. Have searched around and found nothing. Can anyone give me an idea of where to look?
When I run the application in PyCharm no window appears. When I hit the stop icon I get the message:
Process finished with exit code -1
Thanks for any help

Does the same problem appear if you run your code from the PyCharm's Terminal?
What's your PyCharm version?
Sergey, thank you for responding. Yes, it runs from the terminal and from a stand-alone command prompt. It does not run if I hit the execute icon in the IDE. I also noticed that if I set a breakpoint, and hit the debug icon, an error message appears "Connection to Python debugger failed".
PyCharm version 2019.3.1
Thanks for the help!
I figured it out and all working now! I didn't have the script set up correctly in the Run Configuration. After looking more closely at the message that appeared when I ran the debugger, and some research, I realized my beginner mistake.
Hi Tekaib,
could you kindly tell me how you've solved the issue. For a very basic code, Pycharm opens the window but if I add any clicked.connect code, pycharm doesnt load the window at all. I'd really like to know your input on this issue.
Thanks

In the configuration for your project make sure you have the "Script path" set up to point to your executable.
