Changing File Name in VS Code make Application Build Fail

[Deep Patel]

I am working on a BLE peripheral FW using 1.9.1 nRF Connect SDK on VS Code.

My application was building uptil now.

I changed one file name. Its .c / .h file names and all all its references.

But then the build failed.

After much investigation, i couldn't fix it.

So i reverted back both the file names and all references i had changed again.

Still build fails.

Don't know what has got messed up ?

Isn't changing a file name that easy in VS Code ?

These are the errors see below if any one can help. Also suggest in future how to easily change file names to avoid these problems.

Hi Deep,

If a source file is moved or renamed then the CMakeLists.txt file will also need to be manually adapted.

Hi Priyanka, i have change the name of the file in the CMakeLists.txt file as well. Still gives error. I also did pristine build.

Hi,

Could you try to remove the build folder and create a new one? Do you get an error still?

I deleted the project and re started from scratch and it builds now. But not sure why it didnt fixed without it.

Is that so hard to change file names in VScode / nRF Connect SDK enviornment ? It is simple to change filenames in eclipse

It's not possible to automatically incorporate the changes in file names, but yes, doing it manually along with adapting the CMakeLists to those changes should work.
