MSP430FR5969: Issues with Command line build

Hello,

After speaking with a colleague, it seems your issue is related to the CLI not being able to update the output "Debug" folder. Some things to check/try:

• Check that no files are open by other programs such as editors
• Confirm project has a "debug" configuration
• Double check what happens without the -ccs.configuration parameter

I rebooted the computer (Windows 10). Checked the task manager to see if there were any programs running - none. Opened command prompt and typed in  

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "<My Workspace>" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects <My Project> -ccs.clean

got the same error. I tried it with these commands as well

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "<My Workspace>" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects <My Project>  -ccs.configuration Debug

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "<My Workspace>" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects <My Project>  

Everytime I get "Debug\.metadata is read-only". I have checked to read if the .metadata is readonly and the check box has a square dot in it and not a check mark. 

I opened a command prompt as administrator as ran the following command:

>attrib -r -s .metadata

the result remains the same. The I ran CCS and was able to build the project

Hello,

I'll be looping in some of our CCS experts to see if they can help you further on this. 

Hello

Can you provide what the path is for both your workspace and project folders?

Feel free to change some of the folder names for privacy purposes. However I need more details than just <My Workspace> and <My Project>.

thanks

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "C:\Users\atma\workspace_v10\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects myProj -ccs.clean

The project location is

C:\Users\atma\workspace_v10\myProj

Ah that looks ok. 

I think I misunderstood the original error message.

The error is clearly some permissions issue with your workspace folder.

Can you try using the command line to import the project to a new empty workspace folder (have the command create the folder) and then afterwards try to build the project in the new workspace folder?

example:

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "<new workspace location>" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location <full path to myProj project folder> -ccs.copyIntoWorkspace

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "<new workspace location>" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectBuild -ccs.projects myProj -ccs.clean

Thanks

This command :

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data ""C:\Users\atma\temp_WS" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location "C:\Users\atma\workspace_v10\myProj" -ccs.copyIntoWorkspace

results in the same "Debug\.metadata is read-only" error

I copied my project to the desktop and ran the command 

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data ""C:\Users\atma\temp_WS" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location "C:\Users\atma\Desktop\myProj" -ccs.copyIntoWorkspace

I get this error:

There is no .metadata folder in either locations

.metadata would be a folder inside your workspace folder.

Can you specify a workspace folder outside your user folder? Like C:\Temp\temp_WS

Just tried it

C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\eclipse\eclipsec -noSplash -data "C:\Temp\tiProj\" -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location "C:\Users\atma\workspace_v10\myProj" -ccs.copyIntoWorkspace

Same error. Probably there is some issue with the wrokspace_v10 folder?

I noticed that you have some typos in the command.

You have TWO quotes in front of the workspace path:

-data ""C:\Users\atma\temp_WS"

Please remove one:

-data "C:\Users\atma\temp_WS"

I corrected it but it did not fix the problem though

-data "C:\Temp\tiProj\"

remove the last backslash:

-data "C:\Temp\tiProj"

I created a new folder called myProj in Temp. I used CCS to import my project into that folder. Closed CCS and then using command line I am able to clean, build and flash. I will let you know if I run into problems in future. My guess is esclipsec does not like long path names
