Option to continue serial connection after flashing: stdin / stdout in terminal mode with REPL on CTRL-C

Update:

There might be a way to run “Flash /path/to/your/file.py” run configurations in the terminal window and continue by offering you full REPL provided via microrepl.py. We have something like that for regular Python run configurations in PyCharm. There is an option when you edit a Python run configuration: “Emulate terminal in the output console”.

Original issue:

I added this little snippet at the end of the main() function in microupload.py to aid debugging:

while True:
    line = board.serial.readline()
    sys.stdout.buffer.write(line)
    sys.stdout.buffer.flush()

In intelliJ this plugin is also ignoring the “excluded files”, so it tries to flash 48 files where only three are sources. It would be helpful if the plugin would use the sources root as the base for microupload.py instead of the project root.

Please do. I am totally with you regarding the issues with that solution. Feel free to take what is useful and change what may be solved better.

There is no way to output any print('hello') capabilities when you use the run main.py. Any workaround?
