Can't update Cube IDE

[Dfarr.1]

I cannot run updates from within Cube IDE.

Help>Check For Updates throws the following error dialog:

Unable to read repository at

https://sw-center.st.com/stm32cubeide/updatesite1/.

Unable to read repository at

http://sw-center.st.com/stm32cubeide/eclipse.

I have tried the following:

• manually clear p2 cache and restart IDE
• add https:// variant for the updatesite1
• remove http:// variant for updatesite1
• append "/" to the end of all Available software paths that don't have one.
• remove and replace all Available Software Sites
• export Available software paths from another PC without this issue, import into my PC.
• launch the IDE from command line with stm32cubeide.exe -clean
• reduce number of Available Software Sites to 2 only (eclipse repository, updatesite1)
• Help>Install New Software : uncheck "contact all update sites during install to find required software"

None have worked.

I originally had 1.3.0 ide on my machine, it also could not be updated (checksum error that time). I manually downloaded and installed 1.4.0. But the update problem has persisted in this new form. I need to upgrade to 1.4.2 to collaborate with the rest of my team.

What else can I try?

For what it's worth, I get the same error currently and my updates have worked in the past. It might be a transient issue that will get fixed if you just wait.

Hi Dfarr.1

Thanks for reporting, there was an issue with the repository.

It should be fixed right now.

Could you reload every checked repository sites from Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites and try to update again (Help > Check for update) ?

Paste there any error which might occurs during the refresh.

Reload Available Software Sites successful.

First attempt at Check For Updates failed with a SHA256 error. I closed all projects, changed the updatesite1 address to https:// and added "/" on the end and ran again. It worked with those changes.

Thanks for the help.

Thank you! I have finally managed to update CubeIDE too using your suggestion.

I added a new Software Sites option starting with https:// then unticked all the others and it worked just fine. Should I re-tick any of the other options?

On a related note, do you also update the Eclipse CDT from the Eclipse Marketplace or is that not needed?

Sorry @Community member​ , I'm not in a position to offer any further advice. I'm just an average user like yourself and I can really only vouch for my suggested solution, nothing more.
