Your session has been disconnected

[garvit1608]

I am trying to execute python scripts via shell (powered by Datacamp) included at https://www.learnpython.org/
However, I am always getting Your session has been disconnected error.

Here is a screenshot of console error which I am getting on hitting the run button:

Hi. I am experiencing the same problem, and it seems we are not the first ones #397 .
I'm curious how @MichaelJCole has solved it there.

@bakera81 do you know if we need a DataCamp account to run these examples?

Hi all, you don't need a DataCamp account to be able to run the code chunks on sites like Learn Python. I unfortunately can't reproduce the issue here. The session disconnecting is likely an issue with DataCamp Light itself - if refreshing the page or trying a different browser doesn't do the trick, please file an issue on the DataCamp Light project here: https://github.com/datacamp/datacamp-light/issues

I had been experiencing the same problem using the Brave Browser for Windows, until I turned off's Brave's site-specific "shields" for the site. Once I did that, the problem went away.

The site-specific "shields" can be accessed by clicking the Brave lion icon to the right side of Brave's address bar panel. [See How do I configure global and site-specific Shields settings?]

While using the Python tutorial today, I looked into this some more, and isolated what was causing the problem for me, at least, in Brave.

Brave's shields have 3 options regarding cookies:

• Block cross-site cookies
• Block cookies
• Allow all cookies

I think this originally had been set to

• Block cross-site cookies

but the only option which seems to work for this is:

• Allow all cookies

I wonder if blocked cookies might also be what's causing this problem for garvit1608 and cipri-tom.

When a session ends up being disconnected because of blocked cookies, maybe the message could be changed to let the user know that's the cause of the problem. baker81 - Should I file an issue on the DataCamp Light project? Thanks.
