Pydev quick fix feature issue

Question

To enjoy quick-fix feature of PyDev, I'm following nice video guideline from PyDev official website which is below.

http:// pydev.org / video_pydev_20.html

The question is my PyDev does not work as video shows (at the time of 00:55 of the video), which is quick fix to create Robot class by pressing Ctrl+1.

But, my context only shows "Move import to global scope". Do I miss something?

As I am pretty newbie at stackoverflow that I can't upload image here. :(

Capture from tutorial video, which I want to achieve.

I am using PyDev2.4.0 and Eclipse Indigo Service Release 1.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The most common issue would be that your module is not in a source folder... There's a getting started guide at: http://pydev.org/manual_101_root.html which explains how to configure your source folders (which are the folders added to the PYTHONPATH).

It may also be that your file is beneath the PYTHONPATH but not under a python package (i.e.: a python package is a folder that has an __init__.py file in it) or your folder is not a valid python name (in which case it's also not treated as a package -- i.e.: folders with '.', '-', etc in the name).

Answer 2

You should have the cursor blinking on the line as in the first picture. Then it works. If you select even 1 character and press ctrl+1 then you get the situation in the second picture. I tested this in my setup which is the same as yours.
