CCS/AM3352: An internal error occurred during: "C/C++ Indexer". java.lang.NullPointerException

Part Number: AM3352

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

OS: Windows 10 Pro
CCSv7.2.0.00013

I have been using CCSv7.2.0.00013 for a few days successfully. This morning when I started CCS, It did not display the source files that I had open in my prior session. The tabs were there, but an error was displayed, I believe about loading the Editor. When I tried to expand my project in Project Explorer view, the > disappeared, and the contents were not displayed. I created a new workspace, and attempted to import the project into the new workspace and received an error 'An internal error occurred during: "C/C++ Indexer". java.lang.NullPointerException'. I tried starting CCS using the -clean option to no avail. I am attaching a zipped file of the last workspace folder.workspace_v7_b.zip

  • I unzipped your workspace folder and was able to open the workspace successfully in CCS 7.2. However, since the project files were not included in the zip file, I could not open the project or try importing it into a different workspace. Would you mind sending your CCS project files also (essentially the .*project files found inside the project folder)?

  • Unfortunately, in trying to resolve my problem, I deleted my local copies and retrieved the previous versions from our version control system, then made the updates to the project as I recalled that I had made yesterday. That seems to have resolved my problem. However, I did notice that if I edit one configuration of the project, then try to switch to a different configuration in the "Properties for Project", I also get the java NullPointer exception. I haven't noted any side effects from that yet.

  • Thank you for the update and glad to hear that the problem is resolved.

    Would you be wiling to share the project that demonstrates this issue? If so, we can investigate and try to get it fixed. You can even share the project privately if you prefer not to share it in the public forum. 

  • How would I share the files privately?

  • I sent you a friend request. After you accept it, you should be able to start a start a private conversation with me by hovering over my username on the forum post. You can zip up and attach your project to the private conversation message.
  • For those following along, the CCS project files were shared privately however the issue was not reproducible with the provided files. The original poster has been able to move forward though and does not have a pressing need to pursue this, so the thread is being closed.
