CCS/CC2650: Rename a Project

Part Number: CC2650


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since someone asked this question in the forum, so here it goes. I may be doing this the wrong way.

My approach is right click on the project(in project explorer), left click on rename, choose new name, left click ok. Then a s**t storm happens.

CCS creates new project with new name, fails to delete the old one, neither of the projects are complete and project is lost. Errors saying CCS failed to refresh workspace.

"Problems occurred while refreshing local changes
Problems occurred while refreshing local changes
The project description file (.project) for 'project_zero_app_cc2650em7id' is missing.  This file contains important information about the project.  The project will not function properly until this file is restored."

It is right at this point, neither projects function properly.

Any solutions for this?
Thank you all

BTW I'm using CCS 7

  • Ok, so the easy way... manually

    Start by copying your project to other location.
    Find the files .project .cproject .ccproject
    Open each with any text editor and change the original name to the new name
    Import the project using CCS->Project->Import CCS Project->Search directory(the copied one)
    Done

    But, you know, it would be so much easier if after 10? years of this problem, CCS could just do it automatically...
