B4R Question directory error

[Gerardo Tenreiro]

Hello,

I have a project in progress and I had it on a drive named "Z:", copy the whole folder to another drive named "D". don't change anything in the project, just copy it in its entirety from one disk to another disk.

With B4R I open the project in "Z:" and transfer, modify and others and everything works correctly
Comm B4R I open the project in "D:", it opens, I edit it but when sending to the ESP32 an error "The directory name is not valid" appears.

How is this error solved?

Attached the Log and screen copy with the error.
Thank you so much

Ha ocurrido un error.
El nombre del directorio no es válido

 

[Erel]

Clean the project (Ctrl + P) and try again.

 

[Gerardo Tenreiro]

Thanks Erel.
It was the first thing I tried to clean the project
the result is the same

[IDE message - 9:30:06]
An error has occurred.
The directory name is invalid

Any other possible solution?

Thank you

 

[Erel]

You will need to do some tests. Does it happen with a new project at the same location?

 

[Gerardo Tenreiro]

If I copy the project to the original locationk "Z:" the problem is solved, it no longer gives the error.

çIf I open a new project and "D:" and then copy it to "Z:" the problem appears again with the project.

It is as if the original location of the project remains somewhere.
Thank you

 

[Erel]

I guess that you aren't copying the project properly. Missing some files.

Use File - Export As Zip and unpack the zip in the new folder.

 

[Gerardo Tenreiro]

If the project is copied successfully.

Everything works fine except for the wrong directory message after transferring to ESP32

It's just an error message at the end of the serial port transfer So the project is copied correctly

I did the test to export as ZIP and it doesn't work, it's a solution.

Thank you
