Micropython output and webrepl

[mdughera]

I have a program running on an ESP32 board that uses asyncio and periodically prints a message.
Webrepl is configured and working correctly: I can connect to the board with the url http://myboard:8266 and see the output messages as soon as they have been generated.
In webrepl I can also upload and download files with the program running.

I configured Thonny interpreter to use ws://myboard:8266/ and see the message "Webrepl connected".
I can confirm by the board leds that the program is still running, but I cannot see any message in Thonny and the board filesystem does not show up.
To see the board filesystem I need to stop the running program.

The fact that I cannot see the program output is a bug of a feature not yet implemented?
Also, why do I need to stop the program to send/receive files?

TIA and kudos for what you've implemented.
