I am complete new to talend and inherited some projects from someone who has left our company. I can not figure out how to open the job and edit it. I downloaded and is running Talend DI. When I try to import the project I get the message. "Selected folder is not a Talend Open Studio project."

The project files have look like this. (- represents a folder)

-ProjectName

-lib

jobinfo.properties

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you

That might not be a complete project folder , but rather the result of someone selecting one or more jobs (in a project) and exporting them.

Try this

  • create a new project
  • open it
  • right click on jobs
  • import
  • navigate to the folder you mention as the source folder
  • see if it finds any items (jobs, contexts, meta data definitions etc) to import
  • for the sake of simplicity, import all available items into your newly created project
  • review the jobs and other imported items

    You're welcome! By the way, as a best practice, I recommend checking the whole project into revision control. That makes it much easier for the next person ( or you) grab the latest project/code version and open it up, without having to figure out what is missing. – dbh Feb 29 '16 at 16:26

In my case, I managed to import the project into the workspace from Talend studio as below.

Open Talend Studio -> Import an Existing Project ->Select -> Import Several projects -> Select Root Directory (Browse the Folder) -> you would be able to see the available projects (if the project folder is not corrupted)->Select the project checkbox -> Click on Finish
