pydev debugger fails on launch but code runs fine

Question

When I launch the pydev debugger with LiClipse (latest versions of both) I get a "KeyError:" exception.

I have ensured that the workspace folder has the proper permissions. I get this problem even if I run LiClipse in Administrator mode.

I expect to be able to debug my python code. My actual results are the following errors:

pydev debugger: starting (pid: 15388)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Brainwy\LiClipse 5.2.4\plugins\org.python.pydev.core_7.2.1.201904261609\pysrc\pydevd_file_utils.py", line 487, in _original_file_to_client
    return cache[filename]
KeyError: 'c:\\users\\xyz\\my documents\\liclipse workspace\\xyzjirabot\\xyzjirabot.py'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

While I was posting this question I noticed that there is a capitalization difference with the file name being used as the key and the actual file path. I moved the workspace to the root of my C Drive and that seems to have fixed the problem.

I think it's the spaces in the filename. I moved it to \Users\kieveli\Source\LiClipseWorkspace\ and everything worked correctly.

Had the same issue - Path was set to "..\My Documents" instead of just "..\Documents". Changing the workspace to another directory fixed the problem
