Error while trying to debug demandware pipeline code using eclipse

Question

After setting up the configuration for pipeline and clicking on debug in eclipse, I get this error.

Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'Digital Server Upload' on project 'DigitalServer'. Tree element '/' not found.

Answer 1

If you don’t need to edit Pipelines, I recommend VS Code with the Prophet plugin. Check it out on the VS Code plugin marketplace. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SqrTT.prophet

Answer 2

Check the project references (right click > Properties > Project References) of your connection to the instance. You likely have a closed or missing cartridge project referenced there. Once you remove this reference, the error will be gone.
