CCS/TMS320F28379D: Unable to Change Project Name

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Greetings,

    I have developed a new project, called <MyProject>, in a folder of the same name within a development space. Now that it is working, I am merging it with the latest code which I have put in a different development space. I copied <MyProject> to the new development folder, changed the folder name, and changed my custom Value field for <MyPathName> in the Options->Resource->Linked Resources - Path Variables tab to match the new development space name. But when I try to change the name of <MyProject> to its final name, which will match the folder name, I get a dialog box, named “Rename Resource”, which says,

                          “Resource ‘<MyProject>’ is out of sync with file system”

What did I do to cause this, and how can I fix this?

Thank you,

Ed

 

  • HI Ed,

    When you refer to "development space", are you referring to the workspace folder? For example, you have a project called "NewProject" inside a workspace folder called "NewProject"?

    Thanks

  • Hi Ki,

    Our workspace folder is C:\Workspace.  Our development folders are C:\<development space>.  Does this help?

    Thanks,

    Ed

  • Yes, it clears up my confusion. Thanks.

    I tried to reproduce this issue, but the rename is successful. But this error is a fairly common one for Eclipse. Perhaps the suggestion in the below thread can help?

  • Hi Ki,

    That didn’t work. But I found a way to do it, and as a result, found a clue for you.

    Due to the error stating “file system”, on a hunch, I looked around and discovered that the old path information was in the .launch and Build Configurations subfolders. So I deleted those folders, deleted everything in the workspace, brought up CCS, loaded the projects, and was able to change the name without a problem. And everything built without issue. So it seems that the old folder information which was retained when I copied the project was the reason for the dialog box.

    Thanks,

    Ed
