RE: [Pydev-users] Importing an Existing Package into PyDev

Fabio:

Again, thank you for your help. =20

Okay. I have managed to set up the symgen project and added '/symgen' to =
the project.  I had to move the encode folder from its location under =
J:\My Documents/python to J:\My Documents\Projects\symgen, as PyDev =
could not traverse the shortcut to access the files.  No matter.  I can =
now open the project, open the various source files, create new folders =
under the project, and do other file management tasks.=20

Next, I tried to create a new package to hold my test case files.  I =
selected 'PyDev Package' from the 'New' pull-down menu.  The instruction =
in the dialog box was "Create a new Python module", which confused me.  =
I decided to enter the name of my desired package: 'encodetests'.  =
Clicking on 'Finish' resulted in a new folder with my package name, =
containing an empty __init__.py file.  I added a descriptive comment to =
the __init__.py file and moved my test case files into the folder. =20

So far, so good. =20

Next I tried running my test cases from within the work space.  I =
highlighted my top level test file, 'encodetests.py', opened the pop-up =
menu and selected 'Run As/Python unit-test'.  Lo and behold, the test =
ran, the console window showed the result, the one failing test case =
failed as expected and the link to the failing line of code was =
highlighted. =20

Happy day!  I' up and running!

Thank you Again, Fabio, for your help.  I'm sure I will have lots of =
additional questions. =20

Regards,
