A problem in Migrating from VScode to CubeIDE

Roshan
Associate III

Hi all,

I made a project using VSCode but I need to transfer it to CubeIDE, but it is not recognized by cubeIDE so I can't open it, is there any method of migrating from VScode to CubeIDE rather than create from the beginning.

Thanks

CubeIDE 1.6.0 can import a makefile project; can VSCode export a makefile ?

Even if you can do this, you will lost many functions in CubeIDE, I recommend to create new project,

I tried it actually it imported the files,

but even it couldn't find the main.h, I included all files and sources from the settings (paths and symbols ), but still unable to detect "main.h", and lots of features are missing.

yes i realised that lots of functions are missing,

but the problem is this project was created by someone else and i had to add some features. File system created by the earlier person is custom method. therefore the it will take while to rearrange. and i am new to STM32.

What functions, exactly, do you think you will "lose" in CubeIDE?

"it couldn't find the main.h"

What do you mean by that?

  • The editor couldn't find it for editing?
  • The code browser couldn't find it for browsing?
  • The compiler couldn't find it for building?
  • other??

You can add a folder to the project as shown in this thread:

This stupid forum doesn't allow linking to a specific post within a thread, so here's the detail:

Add a 'Folder' - not a 'Source Folder' - and used the 'Advanced' options to point to the source files location:

Which gives

"lots of features are missing"

What features, exactly?

Maybe just stick with VSCode, then?

Importing makefile project, will not have STM32 project nature, debuging will be very hard.
