"Go to definition" from PyDev not work in External Library files - eclipse

When I am in certain files, for example, External Library files, I am getting this behavior where the Go To Definition command jumps me to the import statement at the top of the file instead of opening the file with the real definition.
For example, I'm in an external library, (jumped here using Go To Definition), and from here, I again want to jump, so I put the cursor on the return statement on the Something token and hit "Go To Definition"...
from external.library.mod import Something
...
def scoped_session(arg):
...
return Something(arg)
... which jumps me to the "from external.library.mod import Something" statement at the top of the file. I have the paths and sub-paths defined in External Libraries for the project.
I expect it to instead open the actual definition in the given package/file instead of jumping to the import statement.
Ubuntu 11.10, Eclipse 3.7.1, PyDev 2.4.0, Python 2.7.2

In Eclipse, for python project; we can jump to respective module (source file) and method (function definition). For this, we need to add the packages into PyDev – PYTHONPATH.
Project -> Properties -> PyDev – PYTHONPATH -> Add source folder Browse the particular package (source folder) from Project
Once done, just click on the search keyword, which you want to search and press F3. Else press Ctrl key and click on the search keyword.
Note: Better once restart the Eclipse.

Go to Preferences -> PyDev -> Interpreter (Whichever)
When you first configure PyDev, it scans your system folders for modules (and in some cases I think it'll ask if you you want to scan 'everything' or not..), if the libraries you want were installed after you configured your interpreter, PyDev may just not know about them.
The quickest way to do it is to select all the libraries under site-packages, remove them, and then re-add the site-packages directory so it'll rescan everything.
Alternatively, just remove the config for your python binary and reinitialize your interpreter.

Gtkmm in Eclipse makefile project: "could not be resolved"

I am trying to migrate a custom C++ project which uses Gtkmm3.0 to Eclipse (Oxygen) on Ubuntu 16.04. The project has its own Makefile and builds fine from the terminal within Eclipse. What I have not been able to do so far is tell the indexer about Gtkmm, and I get lots of these (which is very annoying):
When I hover over the little red bugs, it says:
Type 'Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context>' could not be resolved.
I have done a lot of Googling on this and found nothing so far because all answers seem to assume the project's build tools are managed by Eclipse (See this or this, for example). In my case I have a makefile project instead of an executable project and hence some options are not available to me. For example, the first links speaks about configuring the builder:
We have to add all this directories. On Eclipse select the Project->Properties menu option. Select C/C++ Build->Settings property page and GNU C++ Compiler->Directories from the Tool Settings tab. Now we have to add all directories. In my case (Makefile project) only two tabs are available there: Binary Parsers and Error Parsers.
How can I tell the Eclipse indexer I am using Gtkmm3.0?
Found the solution that works for me:
Open a terminal and enter:
pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-3.0
You will see a list of includes directories (starting with -I). These are the directories you want to add in Eclipse so that it can locate the Gtkmm symbols in the editor.
In Eclipse, go to:
Project -> Properties -> C++ General -> Paths and Symbols
In the Includes tab, select GNU C++. You need to add here add the include directories found in step 1. There is no automated way to do this, yo must enter them one by one.
One trick that can save you some time is to edit manually the Eclipse project setting XML file and add the include directories directly in the XML file. By the end, you should have something that looks like this:
That did it for me, hope this helps!

How to run a GO project in eclipse with goclipse installed

I have installed goclipse in my eclipse and created a new go project.
Now this is what I have:
And I have hello.go looks like this:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello")
}
Then I press run button, or right click the file hello.go, and then run, it gives nothing. Besides, it is also empty in bin folder.
Then I press run configurations button, almost empty there with only a project name. it gives:
Given Go package not found.
This is my Preferences for Go:
I noticed that both GOROOT and GOPATH are different from those listed in explorer, but once I changed them to C:\Go\src\pkg or C:\Go\src, the Apply and OK button becomes disabled. Besides, I don't have C:\Go\src\pkg folder either.
I can go install or go build in command line, but I would like to use eclipse for another much larger project. It's windows 7, and the eclipse version is Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1). Thank you.
EDIT: Now I have the following configurations, and it works fine:
Go is installed at c:\Go
in Preferences: GOROOT:C:\Go, GOPATH: C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace
The rest in Preferences is filled in automatically.
helloTest project is located at C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\src\helloTest
hello.go is located at C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\src\helloTest\hello.go
Maybe because I create a project from existing code, and there was something left behind, it automatically adds another GOPATH, in Preferences delete it.
If GOROOT refers to where go is installed (C:\Go), then you need to make sure that:
GOPATH differs from GOROOT (it is important, because GOROOT/[src|pkg|bin] are folders for the Go language itself, not for your own sources)
GOPPATH points to a folder under which all your different Go project will reside (for instance C:\Users\yourName\Go: that defines a workspace)
your eclipse project is created in GOPATH\src\myproject
See "How to Write Go Code" to make sure that your installation and project sources respect the expected organization.
The OP Tiina reports in the comments:
Now it works, but I noticed two things odd.
First what I did: I move helloTest folder into C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\src, so now it is at C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\src\helloTest.
Then I create project from existing code. Nothing else changed. Now I have two GOPATH in explorer, one is C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\src, the other one is C:\Users\Tiina\go_workspace\helloTest\src.
The latter one did no exist at the beginning
I suspect what goclipse does is define one GOPATH per project (or complete the existing GOPATH).
If you create or import a project, it will define/complete GOPATH in <that project/src>
If you hello.go is within that <that project/src/> folder, then it should build and work as expected.
The user guide "project structure" of goclipse mentions:
The project location is not part of any GOPATH entry.
In this case the project location will implicitly be added as an entry to the GOPATH, and a Go workspace structure with the bin, pkg, and src directories will be used in the project.
Note that the project's implicit GOPATH entry will only apply to the source modules in that project. It will not be visible to other Goclipse projects (unless the entry is explicitly added to the global GOPATH).
In the src folder you can create Go source files that will be compiled into a library package (and placed into pkg), or into an executable (and placed in bin)
Here's what one needs to do. One must always follow GO's convention of the directory structure. In eclipse, once a new project is created just create a "new folder" under the src directory by right clicking on the src folder. And now underneath this folder create a new GO file. I had issues running this on my MAC but by following the above steps was able to resolve.
Vishal (www.vishalpandya.com)
Please respect the fact, that if you change GOPATH while working in Eclise/GoClipse, you will have to Quit/restart Eclipse in order to Eclipse have the new environment variables to be reread.

Pydev: Go to arbitrary module source?

In Pydev, is there a convenient way to open arbitrary (external, globally installed) module? Say, I want to see the source of markdown.blockprocessors module. How can I do that without typing an import directive (import markdown.blockparser), using "Go To Definition" (F3) and removing the directive? It would be nice to see the hierarchy of the whole markdown package in the Package Explorer, but I don't know how.
There are 2 main ways of finding something without using F3:
Open Resource action (Ctrl+Shift+R): allows you to find any file in your workspace (so, it's useful not only for python modules, but any file, but those need to be in your workspace).
The PyDev tokens browser (Ctrl+Shift+T): allows you to find any token (class/method/attributes/globals -- but currently not module name) for modules in the PYTHONPATH (either source folder or external libraries under the project properties > pydev pythonpath). You can filter things as 'myproject.*something' (the dialog that opens provides instructions on how to filter tokens).
Add Markdown source code folder here::
Project properties -> PyDev PYTHONPATH -> Source folders.

Pydev say, "Unresolved import" error

hm..
Sometime, PyDev say "Unresolved import error".
In my environment
Python2.6.6 Eclipse3.7 PyDev2.2.2
Errors are.
> Unresolved import: pycassa -> import pycassa Unresolved import:
> WebSocketHandler -> from geventwebsocket.handler import
> WebSocketHandler Unresolved import: tweepy -> import tweepy
Is there any helpfull information?
Had the same problem. In the end I was able to fix the problem by deleting my old interpreter in Preferences > PyDev > Interpreters, and creating a new interpreter called "python" which had the correct paths. After quitting and reopening eclipse, pydev found all my modules.
Probably your PYTHONPATH is not set properly (or if those are libraries in the interpreter, maybe you added them after configuring it).
See: http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html for references (note the part on forced builtins there as it might be your case).
You get an unresolved import if the required module cannot be found. Modules are searched for in the current working directory and the directories listed in sys.path. Your python cannot find the modules pycassa and tweepy it appears.
Might want to check this: http://klaith.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/pydev-unresolved-import-errors/
I solved by recreate the interpreter. There is a guide at pedev.org:
What if I add something new in my System PYTHONPATH after configuring
it?
If you add something to your python installation, you need to either
add it manually as a 'new folder' in the System PYTHONPATH (if it's
still not under a folder in the PYTHONPATH) or (recommended) remove
your interpreter and add it again, then, press apply.
Note that if you added a library that's already under a folder in the
PYTHONPATH, you have to at least go to the interpreter preferences and
press apply so that it clears its internal caches (after the
configuration is done, things are set in stone for PyDev)
Thanks for Fabio Zadrozny and nicodjimenez.
I had a similar problem before. I solved the problem by this steps:
1)Window > Preferences > PyDev > Interpreters > Python Interpreter
2)Delete the Python Interpreter path you added previously
3)Add "New" Python Interpreter and choose python.exe path
4)Check Libraries tab (I found the problem at this step.)
Check your path name, is it true or false? Eclipse detect "C:\Python27\lib" but it should be "C:\Python27\libs" and "C:\Python27\Lib".
In the properties for your pydev project, there's a pane called "PyDev - PYTHONPATH", with a sub-pane called "External Libraries". You can add source folders (any folder that has an init.py) to the path using that pane. Your project code will then be able to import modules from those source folders.
Check this two links it may be helps to you,
Unresolved Import Issues with PyDev and Eclipse
Unresolved import: models
Is pycassa found as a symlink within a directory on your PYTHONPATH? Pydev apparently has a bug where its code analysis cannot follow symlinks (and hence will not see your libraries). The python interpreter can though of course.
I was having a similar problem with the dbfpy module.
I had downloaded the tar archive and installed the source files in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
With this I was able to import the packages in IDLE and even run the code in Eclipse. However the pydev import was still showing as an error with the message "unresolved import"
As suggested by Fabio, I checked the PyDev documentation for forced-builtins. Just adding the name of the package ("dbfpy" in my case to the Forced Builtit tab of Python Interpretr in Eclipse) solved the issue.
(I know the answer is a bit late)
if you installed a python package using, for example: pip install django
i solved the unresolved import issue doing this:
In eclipse:
Window > Preferences
In the left panel tree structure go to:
PyDev > Interpreter - Python
In the upper right panel be sure to have the correct interpreted selected
and in the bottom right panel, click New Folder, navigate to your python installation site-packages (usually in c:\Python33\Lib\site-packages) and search for a folder that ends with .egg-info
In my pc it is "C:\Apps\Environments\Python33\Lib\site-packages\Django-1.5.4-py3.3.egg-info" since i installed python in C:\Apps\Environments, should be different in your case.
This worked with django and selenium, should work with all others as well (as far as i know)
Adding the corresponding package folder ending with '.egg-info' to PyDev > Interpreter - Python - library will resolve the problem.
In Linux, it is usually under /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages
Add site-packages path in environmental variables.
Right click on
computer -> properties -> advanced system settings -> Environmental
variables
.
After that is done, remove the python interpreter and add it again in eclipse.
right click project name in
eclipse --> properties --> python interpreter
.
Hope it works.

How can I get Eclipse to index an entire C/C++ source tree that contains multiple "make projects"?

I'm having trouble getting Eclipse to index my source code. I'm using Eclipse Helios on Windows XP at the moment.
I have a directory called src. Within it, I have a bunch of dirs, something like this:
src
-include (common headers)
-lib
-libIO (source code for this library)
-libGUI (source code for this library)
-pgms
-pgm1 (source code and headers for this pgm)
-pgm2 (source code and headers for this pgm)
Each leaf has its own Makefile. There is no top-level Makefile in src. pgm1 can and does include files from include and lib/libIO and lib/libGUI.
Basically, I want Eclipse to index my entire src directory, without having to set up a C/C++ project for every leaf in my tree. I can't seem to find a way to make this happen.
Here's my symptoms; what I'm trying to solve for:
When editing source in the pgm1 dir, it references functions that are declared in my include dir header files and defined in source files found in lib/libIO.
However, when I press F3 to get to the declaration of a function, Eclipse says "Could not find symbol 'X' in index". I can't seem to get Eclipse to find either the header declaration or the source definition for the method under my cursor (like the Java module does perfectly). Is this possible?
I had exactly same issue as OP but for some reason the menus in Eclipse I was using (Helios Service Release 2) were not "Go to Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Source Location.".
The way I fixed the issue was :
in C/C++ view, right-click on top project name;
in the menu, select New->C++ Project;
in the window that appears, select Convert to and then select C++ project;
click OK to close the window.
Eclipse will start indexing right away. Depending on the size of source tree it may take a while but you will have the indexing working finally after that.
I faced similar situation. I solved it in this way: right-click the project in project View-->select Index-->rebuild.
I managed to solve this thanks to comments here.... I ended up recreating my project. I used the Import method to download a project from CVS, and told it to use the New Project wizard to do so. When I got the New Project dialog, I told it this was a C++ Project, and the indexing now works fine.
I still wish I could index files without having to attach a specific project type to it, but at least I found an answer.
Thanks for the help all.
Exit Eclipse. In workspace go to ".metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core" and delete everything in there.
in the project explorer panel, right click the project you want to re-index, then select index, then select the action you want
Indexing of files and variables under different flags is always complicated when we have a huge project, lot of files and more importantly lot of different build options. I prefer playing around with the Indexer option to help me browse the entire code.
You can find it : Project Properties>C/C++ General/Indexer.
You can choose "Enable project specific settings"
Then it's up to you to choose the options you want for your project.
For a particular build we can choose "Use active build configuration" so that only the files and MACROS are considered which are used by the build script.
Or Index all source files in the entire project.
I am using Eclipse Neon 3, here's the solution that worked for me :
go to File
New
Convert to C/C++ Autotools project
then select your project and finish.
It can take some time to finish indexing, it depends on your project size.
I have experienced problems with the indexer of Eclipse Luna when there was an unresolved friend declaration in the class declaration - it seems then that the indexer skipped indexing the rest of that class, and all references to it was shown as unresolved by the indexer.
Solution: removed the unresolved friend declaration (in my case, it was legacy code that was no longer needed).
Please try the following (my project is set up differently, so I am not sure this will work for you).
Go to Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Source Location.
Do you see your source folder there?
I observe this behavior:
When I add a source folder and then exclude it from build, it disappears from the above list. After that the folder is no longer indexed. Re-adding it to "Source Location" solves the problem: the folder is now indexed; remains excluded from build (as intended); is visible among source locations.
I believe it is a bug -- excluding a source folder from build should not remove it from source locations list.
In Coocox IDE (Eclipse + gcc) the problem is resolved by going from file menu
Edit > Preferences > C/C++ / Indexer > Build configuration for Indexer set to Active build configuration and the rebuild the project (Ctrl R).
If the project is already converted to C/C++ and still the index is not working you can right click on the project and Index and rebuild. The project will start indexing right away.
I am using
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Linux Developers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911
I followed the suggestions above and in addition I had to mark all referenced projects (with in the work space) using project properties->Project references
The following has worked for me in Eclipse Neon:
New Project -> C/C++ -> Makefile project with existing code -> Next. Then Navigate to the code and finish the project creation. Indexing starts automatically.
