Hi @chrisjj thank you for the feedback! I stumbled across this issue while releasing Spyder 5.5.5 and updating the binder image. Seems like having an open project causes Spyder to freeze over binder 🤔 Did a quick check launching Spyder in debug mode over binder and seems like maybe watchdog (package used to monitor project files) and the launching of a console due to a project being opened are causing some sort of deadlock? What do you think @ccordoba12 ?

Here the log I was able to capture: binder-freeze.log

Yep, that was the problem in Spyder 5. But now there's another issue in Spyder 6 with the mechanism we use to kill kernels.

@chrisjj, sorry for the late reply but we were quite busy preparing the 6.0 release. However, we'll address this in 6.0.1, to be released this week.
