Title: codeblocks failing to open my project
Post by: th on December 01, 2022, 08:58:45 pm

I was working on a project on codeblocks and it was working fine. I closed it and worked on another project and when I went back to the first project I got the following error:

Opening file 'C:\Users\user\Documents\Project\Project.cbp' failed!

I'm using codeblocks 20.03 on windows 10 vm.

Note: when I try to open my other project, it opens fine, the problem is in the first project.
I tried restarting the vm and using codeblocks as an administrator but nothing worked. Can someone please help me

Can you attach the unloadable project?

The CBP file contains only 1313 zeros, it got corrupted somehow and it will not be usable anymore.

The possible causes are grid failures, antivirus, disk corruptions...

If you have a backup or use version control restore a previous version. If not, you must create a new project and add you code to it (and use backups or version control).
