Find Your Lost Spyder Code in Autosave
Don't Panic!
If Spyder crashes and you haven't saved your code, don't despair. Spyder has an autosave feature that can help you recover your lost work.
Check the Autosave Directory
You can find your autosaved files in the directory named "autosave" in your Spyder project directory. To find the project directory, open the Preferences dialog (Preferences > Editor > General) and look for the "Projects" section.
Once you have found the autosave directory, open it in a file explorer. You should see a copy of the file you were working on with a name like "autosave_filename.py".
Restore Your Lost Code
To restore your lost code, simply open the autosave file in Spyder and save it with a new name.
Prevent Future Loss
To prevent losing your code in the future, you can enable the "Save all files before running script" option in the Preferences dialog (Preferences > Editor > Run code).
Conclusion
Spyder's autosave feature can be a lifesaver if you lose your code due to a crash. By following the steps in this article, you can recover your lost work and get back to coding.
