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.

Have you got a chance to try brand new released solution (pre-released takes care you have to push right button to install it) ? STM32CubeCLT is not required anymore ! Some brand new integrated solution is promoted instead so called STM32Cube bundles serving the same but revisited experience. May help possibly any tool setup pain.

Could you elaborate more? I can't understand with "Have you got a chance to try brand new released solution".

Ah thanks for the explanation.

No, I'm used to work just with stable releases. I'll try the pre-release version

I can confirm that upgrading to the newest pre-release STM32Cube VSCode Extension version (3.4.11) and uploading the ST-LINK firmware has resolved the "No compiler found in cache file" error. I can now build and debug in VSCode.
