[Pydev-users] Requirements for using exception breakpoints

[Matthias B. <msb...@wi...>]

What are the requirements for using exception breakpoints? The menu
entry Run>Manage Python exception breakpoints is greyed out (as is
"Disable step into properties" btw). I'm using Eclipse Indigo and PyDev
2.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried with Python 2.6 and 3.1 as
interpreter.

You need to be in the debug perspective to have those actions
enabled... if that's not it, please reply again :)

Cheers,

Indeed. That's it. Is there a technical reason for this restriction? It
seems arbitrary.
I use Eclipse to work with several programming languages and I have one
perspective customized for every language and never use the generic
debug perspective. I usually switch seemlessly between writing code and
debugging and perspective switches do not fit into my workflow. This is
the first time I encounter a feature which doesn't work in the normal
language perspective.
