Code Composer Studio 5 virtual folders problem.

Hi,

I'm working with CCS5.The project has no libraries linked to it .

When I'm creating virtual folder, the IDE drops the following warning:

"This project contains unresolved buildable linked resources. It might not build as expected."

Whys is that?

Anatoly.
  • HI Anatoly,

    that error typically indicates there are items that CCS is unable to resolve.  How did you create a virtual folder?  Have you looked at the Eclipse help and topics regarding this.

    For example

    Creating virtual folders

    Virtual folders are folders that exist only in the Eclipse workspace tree.

    To create a virtual folder:

    1. In one of the navigation views, right-click the project or folder where you want to create the virtual folder.
    2. From the pop-up menu, select command link New > Folder.
    3. Specify the name of the folder as it will appear in the workbench. This name can be different from the name of the folder in the file system.
    4. Click Advanced.
    5. Select Folder is not located in the file system (Virtual Folder).
    6. Click Finish.

    Please keep us posted.

  • Hi,

    There's no unresolved items in the project. I create a new example project, and perform the exact actions you have mentioned in your post.

    Take a look:

  • Hi Anatoly,

    please let me know whether the information in these posts helps.   Are you able to track down the file causing the warning?

  • Hi,

    I have checked the issues discussed in the posts you mentioned above, but this is not the same problem.

    I have checked all the include, source and debug files, and none of them appears with "!" sign. I have looked up the project linked resources, and there are no linked resources as I wrote above, this is a "clean" example project.

    I create a new example project, one of these the TI provides with the IDE, add a virtual folder, and the warning appears immediately after I add the virtual folder.

    Anatoly.

     

  • Hi Anatoly,

    ok, I am going to see if I can verify this for you, but I believe you see this warning because using a virtual folder is going to force you to used absolute paths for the linked resources.   So I think this is just eclipse warning you since of course when using absolute paths, moved files will break the build.


    I hope this helps and let me just see if I can verify that for you.

  • I have no linked resources in the recently created project, and no absolute paths in project build options.

    Still the same warning.

    Anatoly.

  • H Anatoly,

    I have now both reproduced this and spoken with development.  This warning should actually not be there and I have filed a bug.  The bug has ID SDSCM00042582 and can be tracked at the link below.

    Sorry for any inconvenience and I hope this clarifies things for you.

  • Thank you.

    Now the question is: does this bug affect my project build somehow?

  • Hi Anatoly,

    I do not believe the build itself should be problematic.  It is thankfully just a false warning from what we can tell.
