Invalid Frame when debugging with PyDev and Eclipse

When I run a Django project in debug mode with Eclipse (and PyDev plugin) it stops in all the breakpoints correctly and I can inspect all the values of the environment variables, but when I try to write whatever in the console I get this error and it doesn't print anything else:

[Invalid Frame]: Please select frame to connect the console.

I had a similar problem while running on Windows 7 with Eclipse, nano and Pydev 5.2.

PYTHONPATH was set in Eclipse. But I expected that the variable was automatically set in the environment variables. But it's not the case.

I corrected it by following these steps:

  1. Went to Advanced System Settings in Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/System/.
  2. Entered into Environment Variables.
  3. Added %PYTHONPATH% and the value of e.g. E:\blender-2.77-windows64\doc\python_api\pypredef; (Or where you have your python installation).
  4. Added this variable to my system's PATH variable

Humm, turns out this was a bug when debugging multiple processes in PyDev. I just fixed it in https://github.com/fabioz/Pydev/commit/e13fd81fe87365be54aed8405741f84df90f2fca.

It should be released on PyDev 4.5.0. In the meanwhile, as a workaround to have a console with such a connection you can right-click the stack (in the debug view) and select PyDev > Debug Console -- by doing so, you'll have an interactive console with a proper connection to that frame.
