CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Project already exists in the workspace

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I created a new empty workspace folder and tried to import projects with CCS 7.2.0.00013. I always get an error:.

       Error: A project with name 'ble5_simple_broadcaster_cc2640r2lp_stack_library' already exists in the workspace!

How come? Is there some kind of linkage still into my former workspace?

Regardless of the error, some files & folders appear into the new workspace under a folder with this project name, but I am afraid its not a working set.

Something simple again?

Br, JS

    Hello,
    You will get that error when there is a project folder of the same name inside the workspace folder. It doesn't matter if the project hasn't been imported into CCS. Often times what happens is that a project import will fail half-way for whatever reason. So the project will not be imported to CCS but the project folder (and associated metadata) will have been created inside the workspace folder. To reimport, you would need to manually delete the project folder from inside the workspace folder. I would imagine that using a new clean workspace folder would resolve that. Make sure the workspace folder is completely empty (including the .metadata folder) and then start CCS and try using that folder again.

    Thanks

    No, the clean workspace folder did not solve it. I did things again:

    I renamed the old workspace folder as workpace_old and created a new totally empty workspace -folder.

    Even the first try to import (from ti/sdk folder) into the new empty workspace folder gives this "already exists" error. So the reason remains unknown. 

    Anyway, I got the old workspace working with CCS7, thanks to your importing instructions in the other thread. So this is not anymore critical question. Just strange.

    It is strange. I don't know how it can happen with a clean workspace folder. I'll still see if I can reproduce this somehow. Thanks for the update
