How to deploy image without debugging?

[TDJ]

Probably this is trivial, but I just cannot find it.
How to deploy image using CubeIDE for VS Code without debugging?
How to properly configure Build+Deploy only (no debug) task in tasks.json file?
How to configure Build+Deploy with debug task?
Should I use cube cli for that or there is some easier way?

Relying on VS Code integrated terminal please have a try

cube programmer -c port=SWD -d <your .elf file>

@vincent_grenetThank you! It may be worth mentioning that a file path like

${workspaceFolder}/build/debug/${workspaceRootFolderName}.elf

does not work on Windows. I had to use build/debug/${workspaceRootFolderName}.elf instead.

It is likely that "cube programmer" cmd does not handle mixed path separators well.

I think it would make sense to create some sort of shortcut under "STM32CUBE KEY ACTIONS".

Thank you for reporting.

We are considering the situation. Unfortunately, the key action cannot be the solution. Lot of end users are using the multi-root workspace feature, which allows multiple projects per workspace / unique Visual Studio Code instance. Additional logic is required to safely retrieve the binary file.
