Error: Import failed for project 'projectName' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted

CCS/TM4C1233H6PM: Import failed for project 'driverlib' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I'm trying to import the driverlib project from Tivaware into Code Composer Studio but it always fails with the error message specified in the title:
"Error: Import failed for project 'tivaware_c_series_2_1_4_178_driverlib' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support."

This only occurs for the driverlib project. grlib,sensorlib and usblib all import whithout any problems.

I'm aware of other threads with similar problems (e.g.: https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/535558?Error-Import-failed-for-project-projectName-because-its-meta-data-cannot-be-interpreted) but all say it's a know issue in version 5.1 of CCS but I'm using version 8.1.

I'm using CCS v 8.1.0, TivaWare v2.1.4.178 and runnind on Windows 10 with all the latest updates.

I did find a workaround by importing the driverlib/ccs folder directly instead of just the driverlib folder.

Thank you

    Tiago,

    I am not able to reproduce this error with the same versions of CCS and TivaWare as you. I am running Windows 10 as well. 

    I assume you are using the CCS menu Project->Import CCS Projects to import the driverlib project, is that so?

    Could you explain exactly what you did here that worked?

    Hi ,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes I did use CCS menu Project->Import CCS Projects to import the driverlib project.

    I think a couple pictures will help explain my problem.

    First of all, here is the location I installed TivaWare. I made sure there weren't any space in the path just in case. I used Resource Explorer to do the install but I don't know if it matters.

    Here is the error I get when atempting to import the driverlib project:

    And this is my workaround. Instead of opening the driverlib folder, I open the CCS folder inside driverlib and it works (disregard the grey text, It's just because I added the project previously)

    Another thing to note is that I used to have CCS7 installed but since I couldn't update it, I completely uninstalled it and installed CCS8 from scratch.

    Thanks!

    Alright nevermind. I found the problem!

    For some reason, there was an unexpected .project file inside the driverlib folder that was causing CCS to throw that error.
    I just deleted the file and now I can import the driverlib project without any problems!

    Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your help!
