Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

with spyder 6.0.2 create a new file with 2 lines:

print(sys.argv)

then Click on Run->Configure Per File

Click on Custom Configuration

Tick the command line under Advanced Settings and add '1 2 3 4' in the text box without the single quotes.

Hey @bitsplice01, thanks for reporting. This is basically the same problem as the one reported in issue #22496, in the sense that we're not passing the global or per file debugging options set by users to the debugfile command.

We'll try to fix that in our 6.0.4 version, to be released at the beginning of next year. In the meantime, you can take a look at that issue for a workaround.
