Error: Import failed for project 'xxx' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support.

Bill Etcheverry

I get one of these errors for every project I try to import. I am using CCSv5.1. Going to v5.2 is out of the question because the project imports are 10 times as long.

I think that the problem is related to requests to make .project files writable when the workspace is created. These files are under version control and should not need to be checked out if you are just going to make a build. How can a build be repeatable if the files making the build get re-written every time?

Any ideas?

Hi Bill,

There is a known issue with CCSv5.1.0 where when you import a project, it tries to write to the file even though it doesn't need to write anything. Obviously this is bad for version control. It should have been fixed in 5.1.1. If you can't move to 5.2, you may want to try 5.1.1

Hi Ki-Soo Lee,

This issue is also observed on CCS 5.1.1 & CCS5.2. The operation system is Windows 7 64bit edition.

I am not sure if it is related to win7, but I have test it on 4 win7 computers.

Do we have work arounds?

Thanks,

Eason

I am using CCS 5.4 (importing from CCS v4) and I still get this error.

Any other updated info? What am I missing?

Do you have the same environment (files in source control)?

Yes, I have the project checked into source control.

After going through many hoops, I managed to create a new project and import the old code and get it working. I am not entirely sure how much of the CCS-data I should check in.

The project folders in my workspace usually looks like this:

./Debug

./Release

./targetConfigs

./src

./include

./.settings

./.launches

Do I need to check in the folders ".settings" and ".launches" ?

What about the files ".project", ".cproject", ".ccsproject" ?
