Set debug working directory relative path [message #1737502]

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to set up a relative path for the working directory when launching debug for my code. I am using eclipse Neon (4.6) with PyDev

workspace is c:\eclipseWorkspacePython
project is c:\perforce\project\eclipseProject
src file is in c:\perforce\project\ imported as a link
When I start my debugger, I want to set the working directory relative to the project folder
I have tried something like ${project_loc:/../} but eclipse tells me project_loc does not exist.
Anybody knows what needs to be done?
Thanks,
Amish

It should be ${project_loc:/<name-of-some-project} instead. The argument
in this case should be a workspace relative path. Use the variable
wizard/dialog to complete the arguments. Any addition path relative to
that should be outside the {}, e.g.,
${project_loc:/<name-of-some-project}/..
