问题
I am trying to rename my XCode 4 project. I have tried several different ways, but nothing works. I always get the following error:
fatal: source directory is empty,
source=Desktop/Folder/OLD PROJECT NAME.xcodeproj,
destination=Desktop/Folder/NEW PROJECT NAME.xcodeproj
What's causing this error, and how can I resolve it?
回答1:
I had a similar issue when I was trying to rename a project for the second time. The error was "fatal: bad source ...". The original project was called AppTemplate. The new project was called "Project1" (say). Project1 was created by doing a project rename (from the right bar) and subsequent steps (move main directory, change plist refs, rename scheme). When i tried to rename the new project, it complained that AppTemplate.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/.xcuserdatad/xcschemes/AppTemplate.xcscheme wasn't available. This is odd since i thought i eradicated all reference to the original project. Apparently not. My [hack] solution was to copy the original AppTemplate.xcscheme file from the original project into Project1 at the required location (Project1.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/.xcuserdatad/xcschemes/). The project rename then proceeded as normal. I know this was not your exact issue, but this is one of the few references to fatal errors on project rename on xcode.

What worked for me was:
- Delete the .git folder from the project directory.
- Now you get a different fatal error when you rename.
- Go to File->Source Control->Repositories and delete the repository from the list.

I had the same error and for me the problem was that the project I was trying to rename was not in a git repository, i.e. git saw it as a bunch of untracked files.
Adding the files to git (and committing) fixed the problem, I was able to rename the project.
It looks like Xcode 4 really wants your project files to be in a git repository.
