Unable to set breakpoint in ipython command line when spyder is used

Question

Hi =) I understand that I can run an ipython debugger and set a breakpoint at the command line, e.g.

%run -d -b12 convert_excel.py

However, I am unable to get Spyder (version 5.4.3) to recognise the -b12 command.

An example script to reproduce this problem is

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Convert CPIC excel files into text files
"""

import pandas as pd

INPUT_FOLDER = 'raw_excel'
FILE = 'raw_excel/test.xlsx' 

df_dict = pd.read_excel(FILE, index_col=0, sheet_name=None)  

for key in df_dict:
    if 'CDS' in df_dict[key].columns.str.cat(sep = ' '):
        drug_df = df_dict[key]
        output = FILE.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0] + '.txt'
        drug_df.to_csv(output, sep='\t')

When I run this code %run -d -b12 convert_excel.py, my breakpoint is ignored. The below is what I see:

In [9]: %run -d -b12 convert_excel.py
Breakpoint 1 at c:\users\jonat\documents\machine_learning\genetic_pipeline\convert_excel.py:12

IPdb [1]: b

IPdb [2]: c

  warn("Workbook contains no default style, apply openpyxl's default")

If I set the breakpoint directly in ipython, instead of setting it with the %run command, it works:

In [12]: %run -d convert_excel.py

     13 FILE = 'raw_excel/fluvastatin_Pre_and_Post_Test_Alerts.xlsx'

May I know why doesnt Spyder recognise the b command in %run and how do I fix this?
