Previous Top Next |
Using the
Project
Explorer,
you can create multiple Run Configurations which offer some more advanced options
than those available when you run/debug the active script. You can create
run configurations by selecting "Add Run Configuration" from the context
menu of the "Run Configurations" node of the Project Explorer.
The following dialog box is then displayed.
Here follows
an explanation of the main fields:
Description
(optional):
A short description
of the purpose of this run configuration. It is currently only used as
a hint, when hover the mouse on top of the run configuration in the project
explorer.
File Name:
The name of
the script you would like to run. You can select a local or remote
file using the buttons next to the edit box.
Parameters:
Command line
parameters that are placed in the argv list of the Python sys module before
running or debugging scripts. Note that the script name is automatically
inserted as the first argument and should not be specified here.
Working
Directory:
If specified
the current directory will be changed to this one before running the script
and restored back to the original one at the end of the run.
Python
Engine:
The engine
with which you would like to run or debug the script.
Reinitialze
Before Run;
If checked,
the Python engine will be reinitialized before running the script. This
is necessary with some GUI scripts. This option is not available with
the internal Python engine.
Save Output:
If checked
the output of the script will be saved to the specified file.
Output
File Name:
The path of
the output file.
Append
to File:
If checked
output will be appended to that of earlier runs. Otherwise the most recent
output will overwrite earlier output.
Set External
Run properties:
Press this
button to specify the options for running the script with an external Python
interpreter. The various settings are the same as in the
External
Tools
configuration. By default output is captured and shown at the
Output
window.
In entering
the File Name, Parameters, Working Directory and Output file name you can use
parameters
and modifiers.
Executing
Run Configurations
After defining
a Run Configuration you can execute it in three different ways, by selecting
the appropriate command from its context menu in the Project Explorer:
· Run
· Debug
· External
Run
After the
first execution you can use the commands
· Run
last script (Shift+Ctrl+F9)
· Debug
last script (Shift+F9)
· Run
last script externally(Shift+Alt+F9)
to run/debug
the last run configuration again.
This commands
are available from the toolbar of the Project Explorer.
