PyDev does not allow me set breakpoints anymore

PyDev does not allow me add breakpoints anymore. The following options show but they do not have any effect.

right click + Add Breakpoint double click to add Breakpoint.

I tried to upgrade to Eclipse NEON and latest version of PyDev 5.7 but it did not help.

is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks in Advance,

Solution

  • Not sure what's happening (it does work for me).

    Some things to test:

    1. Open the debug perspective then view the breakpoints view (if the breakpoint appears here, the glitch is only in the editor).
    2. Now try to do Ctrl+Shift+B on the line (this will only work in the debug view or if you customize your view to have the breakpoints actions. i.e.: Window > perspective > customize perspective > action set availability > make sure breakpoints is checked).
    3. Just double-click the left ruler

    If none of those worked, please check if you do have some error in your error log.

    Also, is the file where you're putting a breakpoint a part of the project (i.e.: under a source folder) or is it external to the project?
