An error is displayed, informing the user that the current project overlaps the location of another project, with the same name as entered, even if there is no such project.
Hi Scott, Can you add a documentation note stating that user shouldn't specify their eclipse workspace as their bitbake commander project's location, this is due to an issue of upstream implementation. Thanks, Jessica
I added a note indicating that the user should not do this and gave a brief explanation of the error that is returned if they do. Please review the note at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-yocto-bitbake-commander-project Thanks, Scott
I am marking this RESOLVED as there has been no review comments against the solution that is in place.
Hi Scott, First, sorry for the late reply. Seems that I missed this for review. The documentation note is okay, only one thing. I think it's: "Do not specify your Bitbake Commander project location as your Eclipse workspace." instead of "Do not specify your Eclipse workspace as your Bitbake Commander project location." since you first specify the eclipse workspace when you open it up, then specify the BB location when creating the project. It's like a word game a think :) If agreed to make this changes, I will then mark this as verified. Regards, Alex.
Alex, I made the change. You can see it at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-yocto-bitbake-commander-project and http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5.1/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#creating-the-yocto-bitbake-commander-project (both the dora and master branches). Scott
Thank you Scott! Verified.
Great Alex... I changed it to VERIFIED. Scott
