Creating new project in a new folder fails

Helmut4734

HI.

I am using CCS6.1.1.022 on Windows 10. I have a problem to create  new projects in a new folder, not the default folder. When I switch to the button "new project", give a project name, deactivate "use default location",  add a new location with the "browse button" and  add a new folder to the choosen location, everything seems to work fine. The folder is generated including subfolders "configs, settings, Debug, src, target configs) as well as .ccsproject, .csproject, link_msp430247.cmd etc.

As soon as I try to work with the new project, I get the failure:

I have tried it many times and always when I generate a new folder I have this problem.

When ignore it, I get following

-

No user operation can be done by me, I just can wait endless or stop the compiler

When I use the default workspace_v6_1, which was automatical during the installation of CCS, everything works fine.

For my work it is essential, to generate new workspace folders. So I am very unhappy for the moment.

Can anybody help me, please.

Helmut.

    Hello Helmut,
    This issue usually occurs when there are non-ASCII characters in the project settings or various paths used by the build tools.

    e2e.ti.com/.../406317
    e2e.ti.com/.../244013

    Do you have any non-ASCII characters in the path where you created the new projects?

    Thanks

    Hi Ki.
    I deleted non-ASCII and it works. Do you have plans to change this behaviour in future? I have many projects in folders with non-ASCII characters which I want to switch over to CCS6 step by step. Handling of ASCII-characters would help to keep my folder structures. But for the moment I am fine with the solution and can continue work.
    Thanks a lot,
    Helmut

    HI Ki.

    My problem is not yet solved competely. Another test with a new project in a folder with the name "D:\Projekte\IBB\Luefter\Software für alle Versionen\FrontMSP_CCS6" causes the problem again. -> Debug Assertion... Is the choosen name too long, is it allowed to use blanks? All characters are ASCII, isn't it?

    After trying to debug I found following:

    The umlaut character is also known to cause issues

    There is no Umlaut-character like ä,ö,ü,ß in the folder-name

    D:\Projekte\IBB\Luefter\Software für alle Versionen\FrontMSP_CCS6

    Hello,

    I do see an umlaut character in the path:

    Can you try picking a path without one?


    Thanks

    Hi Ki.

    Yes, you are right. Seems I am a blind mice. I have deleted the ü.  Trying to test again and again without any positive result makes me tired and meanwhile it's 11:00 pm in Germany.  The resulting name of the folder is

    D:\Projekte\IBB\Luefter\Software fuer alle Versionen\DF100

    Trying to debug give following failures:

    Thanks,

    Helmut

    As per this post, please also avoid spaces in the workspace or project paths. This is known to cause build errors as gmake does not deal well with spaces in directory and file names.
