STM32 VS Code Extension (No compiler found in cache file)

[Legacy member]

I am trying to get the STM32 VS Code Extension working on my macOS (Ventura 13.2.1). I have installed STM32CubeCLT and STM32CubeMX. I can compile my project successfully using the build command command. However when I press on the debug icon on the bottom toolbar, I get an error saying that "No compiler found in cache file Source Make Tools (Extension)" (See attached screenshot). I have examined the build/debug/build/CMakeCache.txt file and everything looks ok at first glance. Any insight or solutions as to what is going on would be welcomed.

I've tried with a brand new project on the NUCLEO-F401RE board and it has the same issue

Do we have an ETA as this is a pretty bad bug basically making the use of VScode impossible @Sarra.S @Imen.D

Hei @Sarra.S @Imen.D do we have an update on this?

Here is the solution for anyone still having this problem to "No compiler found in cache file Source Make Tools (Extension)". I don't know why ST would choose this response to outdated firmware on the ST-LINK. Your ST-LINK firmware needs to be updated. You can get it here, https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html?dl=redirect

I had this exact same issue with my NUCLEO-H563ZI, upgraded the firmware and it's working as expected. If you have a cloned ST-LINK it might not work, haven't tested it though.

Still no fix for "No compiler found in cache file Source Make Tools (Extension)" tho

It's been almost 2 years...
