CCS 4.2.3 project won't import into CCS 4.2.4

I have a working project that was built using CCS 4.2.3. I had to upgrade to 4.2.4 to gain support for the new FRAM based MSP430. When I try to import the 4.2.3 project into 4.2.4 by either "Project -> Import Exisiting CCS Project" or "Project -> Import Legacy CCS Project" and browse to the source directory that contains the dot files and the .ccxml file, the tool does not recognize any of these as project files.

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Did the project file structure change between 4.2.3 and 4.2.4?

    Hi David,

    actually for a CCS 4.2.3 project, do not use the legacy import.

    What steps did you follow when you chose "Import Existing CCS Project"?   What messages do you get?  Did you select the copy project option?

    Best Regards,

    Hello Lisa,

    Thanks for the response. Legacy was a last ditch effort when the other didn't work. No messages, just blank in the "discovered projects" window when I browsed to the folder that has the dot files and top.ccxml. No difference with copy selected or not. Did the project file format change?

    David.

    Hi David,

    then I suspect you are simply selecting the wrong folder.

    The structure/project setup did not change from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4.

    The folder you typically need to point to is either your workspace folder or the one under it (project folder).

    eg c:\my4_2_3_workspace\project1

     

    Please give that a try and let me know.  Are you using a source control or other unique type of setup?  This would also make a difference.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Lisa,

    No source control, and no luck. The PC is Windows 7. I've tried all folders and subfolders in the entire path, including workspace. My projects are located in a simple structure like c:\company\projects\abcdesign\code\demo... Nothing works. Can you try importing a 4.2.3 project into 4.2.4 to see what happens?

    My coworker hasn't upgraded to 4.2.4 yet, and he is able to import this exact same project into CCS 4.2.3 by browsing to the folder that contains the .ccxml file. It looks to me like a bug, or maybe something screwy with my install. But that seems unlikely, as my CCS 4.2.4 install works fine for creating new projects for the FRAM device.

    Regards,

    David.

    Hi David,

    I was just able to reproduce this, so let me look into this.  I will let you know as soon as I have any feedback.

    Cheers,

    Hi David,

    I have been continuing to look into this and so far I have only experienced it with the one project.

    Have you tried other 4.2.3 projects?

    I have tried on another machine now as well. And what I purposefully did was clean the machine of all CCS versions and just have 4.2.4 installed.

    Could you possibly (offline is fine) zip your 4.2.3 workspace folder and send it to me to try/look at?   It seems to me like the project I had problems with might have been somehow corrupt or missing a couple files.

    Cheers,
    Lisa
