Can't debug - no such file or directory

[leamrl]

Hello,

I recently bought a NUCLEO-F412ZG and shortly downloaded STM32CubeIDE.

However, I only tried to debug and launch the generated program, without changing anything, and came across this error message :

Checked the path, all is good. I can't seem to compile any project.

Here are the logs from st-link_gdbserver_log.txt :

I tried other ports and rebooting, same error message and logs.

Does the file exist?

If the build didn't complete there will be no output files to debug.

Watch for spaces or odd characters in files names and directory paths.

Do you have a folder name with a space in it; eg, "first example" or "first project" ... ?

🤔

Spaces in file names (including folder names) are best avoided!

And the answer was odd characters :)) I have a "é" in my session name. Tried it in C:/ and it worked. Thank you very much !
