LAUNCHXL-F28027: Can't Import existing project into new workspace

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28027

Hi All,

When I create a new workspace, and am in that workspace, I try to import an existing project that resides in a different workspace.  By different workspace I mean a different directory.

The project seems to be imported, and I can make changes to source files, compile, and run the changed code.  All is well, except that the code changes are made in the original source file location, not in the new workspace.

It's probably a rookie error.  I've done this successfully before, but now I'm struggling.

CCS v 10

CGT C2800 Compiler Tools 21.6.0

Target is LaunchXL-F28027

Can someone help?

Thanks,
robin

  • Robin, 

    Did you enable the 'Copy projects into workspace' option when you imported the project into the new workspace?

  • Hi Siddharth,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I tried it with and without checking the "Copy projects into workspace" option.

    Without the option, the project isn't copied into the new workspace.  I can access the project and make changes, but the changes are all made to the files in their original location.  This is as you might expect.

    With the option, the project IS copied into the new workspace, but changes still occur in the original location.  This is NOT what I would have expected.  I expected the project files to be copied into the new workspace (they are copied there), and I expected to open the project from that new workspace and any edits would occur on the files that reside in the new workspace.

    What's unexpected is that the edits are made to the files residing in the original workspace only.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    robin

  • Robin , 

    I tried it out but was unable to reproduce the issue that you are seeing. 

    For me , if the "Copy projects into workspace" option is enabled, then the project is copied into the new workspace and all changes are saved in the new workspace.

    Can you try with any other project ?

    Best Regards
