Debugging exported project loads wrong linked file

Guru 15580 points

CCS Version: 5.1.0.09000 

I exported a group of projects from my main workspace to a backup file location.  I then created a new workspace in that backup file location. Some of the projects in my main workspace included linked files to other projects in the same main workspace. Now, when I debug a project in the new (backed up) workspace, CCS pulls the source file from the original (main) workspace. Am I doing something wrong?

  • Hi MikeH, I'm wondering whether this is because of the way the files were added to the projects initially. Were they imported using "Copy file" or "Link to files"? The little icon next to the file name under the Project Explorer shows an arrow when the files are linked.

    Annie.

  • Ahah!

    In my original workspace I have two projects: A & B. Some of the files in B are linked to files in A. In order to back up my project I zipped the entire workspace into a folder and moved the zipped folder into my backup directory. I guess this means that the original links were included in the zipped file and point back to my original workspace.

    Thanks for helping me think this through.
