'Launch failed. Binary not found' after project is re-built [message #1754957]

Hi all,

There are a few posts on this subject but I couldn't find any that matched my scenario. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.

I set up a C/C++ Unit Run Configuration, with my application set in the 'C/C++ Application' field as per the screenshot.

I then hit 'Run' and it successfully runs my application.

I then make a change to the application and re-build it. The build completes successfully and the new binary is in the same location as the previous one.

I hit the 'Run' button again and I get the error message: 'Launch failed. Binary not found'.

If I open the Run Configuration and hit 'Run' again without changing any of the settings, it successfully runs my application.

I can then hit the 'Run' button any number of times it will successfully run my application until I make a change and rebuild it. After rebuilding I get the error message again.

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
