    When Launching pydev in debug perspective, pydev irregularly concludes prematurely with the message:

         'Launching <module name>' has encountered a problem.

         Terminate failed.

    If I relaunch, one perhaps two times, the debug session will actually start. Have any idea what might be causing this,? And how I might get around it.

      Other bits.
      1. The problem shows up after I have made a chnage to the code. If I simply run the code again, it starts without failing.
      2. In the lower right corner of the eclipse window, the completion status percentage seems gets as far as 63% and stops for a while, and then either fails or completes.

      An perhaps another clue... In the Progress window I see: Launching: Waiting for connection...

      What Connection?

      Do you have something in your error log when that happens? Have you tried raising the connect timeout? (in window > preferences > pydev > debug)

      Cheers,

      Defragmenting my disk solved the problem. I'm not sure why. Obviously, something needs disk space, perhaps the pager, and it ( whatever "it" is ) takes a while, more than the connect timeout, to compose the space necessary.

      Thanks anyway for the useful pointer. I have yet to explore that menu. I'm sure I'll use it at some point.
