LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1: renaming CCS project fails when re-importing

Guru 18545 points
Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1

Hi all,

This issue has been around for years.

Just import a project, for example, "project zero".

Right click on it, and rename it to "abc".

Delete it. Make it go away from the projects list. Obviously do not mark the tick to delete it from file system.

Now, try to import "abc" project. It will fail.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    I am afraid I cannot reproduce your issue.

    Here are the steps I have followed (all are successful):

    1. Open CCS 12.5 on Windows 10
    2. Import the empty example project for CC2340 (F3 SDK 7.40.00.64) for TIClang compiler from the SDK folder
    3. Delete the project, without marking the tick to delete it from file system
    4. Re-import the project newly deleted from the Workspace folder
    5. Rename the project
    6. Delete the project, without marking the tick to delete it from file system
    7. Re-import the project newly deleted from the Workspace folder
    8. Import the empty example project for CC2340 (F3 SDK 7.40.00.64) for TIClang compiler from the SDK folder (same as step #2)

    Note you can not have two projects of the same name in a workspace.

    Let me know if I have missed something. Also if you have screenshot or error messages I could leverage to understand better the issue, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    @Clément

    You did a better job than me describing the problem. I did not indicate I was using Linux Ubuntu.

    I think with Windows, like you did, it works fine.

    Let's see if someone can try it under Linux CCS.

    Thanks a lot, I certainly forgot to add proper info.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for the additional information.

    I have asked a colleague to run the same tests on Linux Ubuntu 20.04.6.

    Please bear with us.

    Best regards,

  • Hi,

    I have tried this in Ubuntu, and do not see this same issue.

    I am using CCS 12.7.

    1. Have existing project in CCS workspace.
    2. Build it
    3. Rename it
    4. Delete project from workspace (still exists on disk)
    5. Import project into CCS, and select the project from 1 (renamed in 3).
    6. Project imports as expected and still builds ok
    Now, try to import "abc" project. It will fail.

    If possible, please provide screenshots showing the error.

    Thanks,
    Toby

  • Hi

    I was using one Debian-based distribution called SpiralLinux and it had this error.

    On a more traditional one Linux Mint, this error is not there.

    Thanks for your help!
