Welcome to the forum.

Remember that we know nothing about you or what you have done, so you need to give some more details - see:

so i wanted to generate pwm signals for an inverter and borrowed the above mentioned stm from my friend. so i have zero knowledge on stm32. i followed the step by step explanantion on how to start using stm32 https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/STM32StepByStep:Step1_Tools_installation#Download_STM32CubeL4_Firmware_package   . and i did till step1 part 5. but then its asking me to debug . then when i am trying to debug this is the error being shown

Perhaps you didn't compile the project or the debugger launch configuration is missing.
Did you compile the project?

You didn't create/import the project correctly. Use the Example Selector in STM32CubeMX to load the example.

i didnt actually. but its not told do that in the tutorial

[haarry]

let me try that thank youu

[haarry]

now its showing this error

I'm not really sure what the problem is.

Does it build okay?

If you build a default project for that chip (not board) in STM32CubeMX, can you debug that?

The first time you debug a project, the run configuration dialog should open automatically and you should be able to click "OK" or "Next" with default parameters.

Now that you've loaded it using the Example Selector, does it show up correctly in the Project Explorer tab? Should look like this:

Hello @haarry and welcome to the ST community,

At step 5, and instead of importing the project in CubeIDE, locate and open the project from your local disc by double clicking on .project file:

A window will open:

Don't browse to any location and don't modify the workspace path. Keep it as is. Then just click [Launch] button.

The project will open normally and it shows the Project Explorer content like shown here after:

Hope that helps.
