Getting Coreexception while opening the project

[cnagaraju]

HI ,

I am trying to open the project in my local system(Cloned from git).
I am getting an error : ‘Unable to open project. Reason:CoreException’
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Error processing changed links in project description file.

Can you please help on this. I am stuck in my automation . I have spent almost 2 days to figure out.
I changed the project path in .prj and console2Properties file.
It still did not work.

Thanks in advance.

@cnagaraju I am not sure if this will work but can you go to the project folder, right-click and then unselect read-only.

Then open Katalon again and try to load the project again.

@cnagaraju For me most times it was enough to delete the .project File and reopen the project.

I tried deleting the all the entries under “linkedResources” tag from .project file and it worked for me. Make sure when you push changes to git back don’t select this file.
