# Common Problems and Solutions

## Outdated validation messages

When validation messages (errors or warnings) shown in the CommaSuite editors seem outdated it is useful to revalidate all files using:

- Project > Clean

Sometimes a complete restart may be needed.

## Updating the Documentation Template

The documentation template is a subject of regular updates. Existing projects may still use an outdated template. In some cases this can even result in errors during the execution of the generation tasks. To solve this, delete or rename the existing template and import the new one:

- right-click on the project file and select 'Import Documentation Template' from the context menu.

## Errors with names that duplicate keywords

If there are errors with names that duplicate keywords, use the escape character before the names, for instance ^type.

## Problem saving a file

In case there is a problem with saving a file, changing the character encoding to UTF-8 might help:+

    Right click on the file, select Properties; see Resource > Text file encoding > Other ; select UTF-8;  Apply and Close

## Deeply nested folders

A deeply nested folder might lead to problems with long path names. If this occurs, move the workspace to a high level in the folder structure.

## Black console view

Sometimes the Console view might become black as shown in the figure below. Then right-click in the window, select Preferences. In Console view click on Background color, select white from Basic colors, OK, Apply and Close.
