Cannot create a STM32 project - in targeted project selector STM32 project is not available

[DocAlex]

Hello,

I am currently working with STM32 Cube IDE

Version: 1.18.1

Build: 24813_20250409_2138 (UTC)

When I try to create a new project I select the processor and click next. Then the setup dialog appears (as usual).

But in the targeted device selection the STM32Cube IDE project is not selectable:

Consequently I get no .ioc file after creating the project.

Things I already tried:

1. Restart IDE

2. Update

• Help > Manage Embedded Software Packages

• Under STM32Cube MCU Packages, install the firmware for your MCU series (e.g., STM32F4).

3. restart IDE with -clean option

In a bash I used

STM32CubeIDE -clean

Nothing helped. What can I do?

regards

Alexander

Hello @DocAlex 

I recommend you to use the latest version of STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 ,it works correctly .

if you want to keep using 1.18.1 ,please try to:

-Close STM32CubeIDE

-Delete all those files from your PC: .stm32cufinder, .stm32cubemx, .stm32cubeide and .stm32cube 

then restart the STM32CubeIDE and retest again.

I am not able to find these files in my PC even after typing on the search bar and revealing all hidden folders. Maybe I don't have them. I am still not able to select "STM32Cube" option.

Edit: Found it. Thanks!

Hello @Ghofrane GSOURI 

I am using version 1.15.1

I tried 

1. Update

• Help > Manage Embedded Software Packages

• Under STM32Cube MCU Packages, install the firmware for your MCU series (e.g., STM32F0)

2. Delete all those files from your PC: .stm32cufinder, .stm32cubemx, .stm32cubeide and restarted but still stmcube project type is not selectable.  ( .stm32cube this file is not in that folder, only other 3 I deleted)

is there any other way?

After installing the version 1.19 everything was fine. Now I am stuck at exactly the same point: I cannot select an STM32 project.

This is really annoying.

Any ideas?

Regards

Thanks for the link. I will try this as I had exact same problem with 1.18 and then 1.19 solved it but today's update broke it again.

I will follow the guide and I hope it will resolve the problem on 1.19.

Cheers.
