eclipse compiling wrong file [message #1797340]

I am using Eclipse Version: 2018-09 (4.9) with pydev.

I've created a pydev project and created a py source file within src, which I could run.

I added another source file (*.py) but when I try to compile and run the new file, eclipse attempts to run the old py file.

I've attempted selecting the new file name from the Run drop down menu but it still attempts to run the old file.

I've deleted the old file but it still attempts to run the old file.

It seems the choice of file to run from the Run dropdown menu doesn't work.

How can I get eclipse to compile and run my new file or a py file of my choosing?

Thank you

"close project " and "open project" works on Oxygen #3

I think I have been having the same problem lately, I was reviewing several projects in the same workspace. I would open one project, put the java files to screen, and press the run button. Often it would run a previously run file. Why?

Finally I figured out that if I forced Eclipse to resave these files, or maybe just the main file among them, the problem went away. So I might randomly delete one letter from somewhere in the file, reinsert it, and save.

Doing so would force Eclipse to update itself to recognize that I'd put the old application aside and was now working on a different project.

Did you check the "Launching" preference page for how the Launch Operation should behave?
