I need to use an external source library and add it to my PYTHONPATH in a way
that allows the .pydevproject file to be checked into an SCM and used in
multiple workspaces on different computers where the path to the external
source directory varies.
What I did was to create an Eclipse path variable in
Windows->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked Resources. Then in the PyDev -
PYTHONPATH project properties page on the External Libraries tab I added a path
using the \"Add based on variable\" button and entering ${MY_VARIABLE} where
MY_VARIABLE was the name of the path variable I defined earlier.
However, the Pydev Package Explorer view shows an Eclipse error with the
following text:
Invalid external source folder specified: ${MY_VARIABLE}. Am I doing something
wrong or is there a potential problem with Pvdev or Eclipse as it looks as if
Eclipse is not expanding the variable even though it is stored in .pydevproject.
I am running on Eclipse 3.6 with Pydev 1.6.1 running on Ubuntu 10.04
Here is the contents of .pydevproject
[code]<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"no\"?>
<?eclipse-pydev version=\"1.0\"?>
<pydev_project>
<pydev_property
name=\"org.python.pydev.PYTHON_PROJECT_INTERPRETER\">python</pydev_property>
<pydev_property name=\"org.python.pydev.PYTHON_PROJECT_VERSION\">python
2.6</pydev_property>
<pydev_pathproperty name=\"org.python.pydev.PROJECT_SOURCE_PATH\">
<path>/test/src</path>
</pydev_pathproperty>
<pydev_pathproperty name=\"org.python.pydev.PROJECT_EXTERNAL_SOURCE_PATH\">
<path>${PYMT_SOURCE}</path>
</pydev_pathproperty>
</pydev_project>[/code]
