CCSv5.5 Renaming a Project Breaks Path Variables



CCS Version: 5.5.0.00077

So I have been working with a project that I want to create multiple versions of with slight differences.

The method I have used, is to copy and paste in the Project Explorer Tab, then renaming it. This even occurs even when just renaming the project.

I have discovered an odd issue where some of my linked variables break. See the screenshot below. CCS will copy the variable and then add a number on the end. It will also point the Linked Resources to the new variable. This always breaks the build because the new variable is no longer a valid location.

Sometimes it seems to exhibit a recursive variable, where it will create a number of new variables. For example, 

INSTALLROOT_F2837X1
INSTALLROOT_F2837X11
INSTALLROOT_F2837X112
INSTALLROOT_F2837X1123
INSTALLROOT_F2837X11234

I was curious if anyone had seen this behavior before.

 

Thanks,

Mark
