Renaming project fails and leaves project unusable

scottm · ‎03-28-2019

This has really been driving me nuts - an MCUX project with linked folders will consistently cause a crash when renaming or moving a project with linked folders:

Here's a stack trace:

And it's worse than just crashing - the operation fails partway through and leaves the old project folder behind with its .project file and nothing else, and the new project is unusable - none of the include paths work, at the very least.

This is just compounding the difficulty of coloring within the lines in MCUX. I've spent days migrating a project to the MCUX SDK, and to do it right I started with a brand new SDK project and verified all of the settings manually, recreated the linked folder setup and the build configurations, set the include paths, and so on. Now that it's ready and I want to replace the main project - I can't move it. I can't export and reimport it. And I've got to restore the project from backups to even try it again.

To reproduce this problem:

Create a new project. I'm importing the hello_world example from the twrk21f120m SDK package. Rename it to test123. Rebuild, still works. Create a linked folder under 'source' called 'test', linked to a file system path - I'm using 'c:\temp'. Now rename the project to test345 and it crashes with a 'null argument' error.

It'd be really nice if this could be fixed sometime soon. It's caused me all sorts of headaches.

Thanks,

Scott

Hello SCOTT MILLER,

I take a video to show the steps about adding linked folder and linked files,

you can have a look.

Hope it helps,

Have a great day,

Here's a video showing the failure.

Hello Scott,

Sorry I can't open your video, I used Firefox and IE , all can't open, could you please also attached it through "Action -> Edit-> Attach"

Have a great day,
TIC

scottm · ‎03-31-2019

I've attached it as a file. It's working on Chrome, Firefox, and IE here so I think it's something on your end. Not much to the video, in any case - it's just throwing the error I described when I try to rename.

Alice_Yang · ‎04-01-2019

Hi Scott,

I refer to your video steps test on my side, there is no error.

I use the latest version of MCUXpressso IDEv10.3.1.

How about change to another workspace, or re-install it.

scottm · ‎04-01-2019

I have done both, many times. I've even scoured my hard drive for every reference to every previous version of MCUXpresso, Kinetis Design Studio, and CodeWarrior, along with every JTAG driver and anything from P&E Micro, removed all of them, and reinstalled what I needed.

Just now, I created a new workspace, added the demo project, renamed it, then added a linked folder and renamed it again. This is the entire Eclipse log file, from creation of the workspace to the final error when it couldn't save metadata for the partially-renamed project.
