How are you suposed to replicate a project???

[sgordon777]

It's a pretty common need in an IDE to be able to branch or "fork" a project. Normall, I'd make a copy of the projet at the file level, then rename the original and continue development on that. However, Ranaming a project not only crashes, but also leaves the project broken: I don't see any "Save Project As" Option either.

I could make a copy and find every refeferenc to the project's name and change it, but this is tedious and error prone. Is there some way to do this I'm not seeing??

Error message I got when I Right-click project and "Rename"

Motor control workbench Version: 6.2.0

STM32CubeMX Version: 6.10.0

STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.14.0

Board: NUCLEO-G431-RB

Just try :  in IDE , left side, click on a project (selected = blue) , right click on it and select > copy< .

then (on empty space i did) : right click and select > paste < .  -> give mod. name for new copy ->

open here,  right click on xx.ioc and select > rename < .  -> give matching new mod. name for new copy 

also rename xx debug + xx.launch

+ in debug configurations ..main page for new debug->

rename Name , Project, xx.elf

Then mod new xx.ioc , gen code, compile.... and TEST debug. :)

Hi,

I do it in the following way in CubeIDE:

1. File -> New ->STM32 project from an existing STM32CubeMX configuration file (ioc)

CubeIDE ask for ioc file and New Project name.

2. Copy includeFiles.c and main.c from OldProject/core/src to NewProject/core/src (overwriting main.c)

3. Copy includeFiles.h and main.h from OldProject/core/inc to NewProject/core/inc (overwriting main.h)
