A module with the same name already exists in the current folder is returned when trying to create a module in Rational DOORS

Troubleshooting


Problem

Creating a module in IBM Rational DOORS fails with the error message, "A module called 'xxx' already exists in the current folder", though a module with the same name is not seen in the Project or Folder.

Symptom


When trying to create a module in DOORS, the operation fails with:

A module called 'xxx' already exists in the current folder.
Use a different name.

This message appears erroneous, because there does not seem to be an existing module already called 'xxx'.
