How to jump to next breakpoint in Pydev Python debugging

Question

I am using Eclipse along with Pydev for python programming. I have a remote device which runs on linux and my development machine also runs on linux. I need to test and debug the python scripts on remote machine.

For this, I make a ssh connection to the remote machine and then open the python file. There I add below lines:

import sys;
import pydevd;pydevd.settrace("192.168.1.155",port=5678)

So when I run the python file it stops after the above lines from where I start my debugging. If I put a breakpoint somewhere else in the code, then how can I make it to jump to that breakpoint and start from there.

Thanks

settrace actually has a suspend parameter to which you can pass False if you don't want to stop at that line... (sorry, haven't added to the docs, but you may see it at: https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger/blob/master/pydevd.py#L1121 )

So, you could do: import pydevd;pydevd.settrace("192.168.1.155",port=5678 , suspend=False ) that way it'll not stop at that line, only in the first breakpoint you set in the IDE.

After hitting any breakpoint, F8 can be used to continue running until another breakpoint is hit (note that you need to be in the debug perspective for F8 to work -- otherwise, you have to customize your perspective so that the debugger actions are active in a different perspective).

ps: F7 is step return, F6 step next and F5 step into.
