[Pydev-users] Not following symbolic links for F3 resolution

[Kenneth L. <ke...@lo...>]

Hi,

When I hit F3 to bring up a function edit, PyDev claims it cannot find the
source if the function has a symbolic link in the path.  Everything else
works perfectly as it should, yet F3 claims the resource does not exist.

I can get it to work by using a File >> New >> Folder and making a
pseudo-link through that, but that has its own problems since it does not
create a symbolic link in the file system.  So, to get manual tests to
work, I have to create the symbolic link as well.  The problem with doing
so is that when I try to debug, PyDev complains that I have two copies of
the function in the workspace and for every F5, F6, or F8 I hit, I have to
chose the non-linked one, a real PITA.

Looks like I just reported two bugs here.  Should I file them, or is there
a workaround I should try first?

...Thanks,
...Ken
