Project contents cannot be inside workspace directory

When I create a new CCS Project ‘Test’, I get (the default) location ‘I:/CCS/Test’.

When I unselect ‘Use default location’ and type ‘I:/CCS/Test’ (which is the same as above) I get the error message ‘Project contents cannot be inside workspace directory’!?!

What’s wrong?

 

Here I could use the default location, but what I want is the same root (I:/CCS) an offset path and the project name eq: ‘I:/CCS/Example/Test’, to workaround I use a different drive letter: ‘J:/CCS/Example/Test’ and no error appears.

  • Interesting. I wonder if CCSv4 only permits you to use the workspace folder if you have that option enabled. The workspace is managed by the IDE and it is a bad idea to start doing custom things in there so this restriction may be intentional. In any case it is still confusing and I will log the issue.

  • It seems bug is fixed in newer version of Eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=147727
