如何配置eclipse（pydev）以与外部可执行文件一起运行

Question

I have a test framework where all my tests have to be kicked off using a particular executable(say M). All my tests are written in python(I have eclipse configured with pydev) . Currently I run my tests are run thru cmdline like: $ M -test <test_file_name>.<testcase_name> How do I configure eclipse run configuration so I can actually do run /debug from eclipse? I am not able able to find any documentation that tells me if I can use the "Program Arguments" in the run/debug configuration to set this up?

Answer 1

PyDev always will run with the python executable you configure in the interpreter preferences (so, if you want to run with a different executable, it'll only work if it's a program that is configured in the interpreter preferences and that can launch any python script -- as does the regular interpreter).

If that's not your case, what you can do is configure an external tool to make the run (run > external tools > external tools configurations > program) and then use it to run.

Now, if your executable does work as a python executable (or if you're running with Python itself) see:

Answer 2

You have to configure PyDev and give him a path to the executable/interpreter

From this site :

1. Go to: window > preferences > PyDev > Interpreter - (Python/Jython/IronPython).

2. Choose the interpreter you have installed in your computer (such as python.exe, jython.jar or ipy.exe).
