CubeIDE 1.19.0: Failed to enable Live Expression. Connection failed

[Gaston]

This does not happen in CubeIDE 1.15.1 and the solution suggested in this post does not work either.

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Gaston

It says, "Connection failed" - can you do anything else in the debugger?

Hello @Gaston 

Could you please share your Debug configuration, or your Log file?

Where is the Log file?

and the Debug Configuration

Just check "Log to file" in debug configuration so you can find your log. 

Could you try to test with OpenOCD and check if the issue persists?

[Gaston]

I've debugged my application with OpenOCD. With this option I'm able to see Live Expressions as usual.

Here's attached my STLINK GDB Server log file: The option that shows the Failed to enable Live Expression message.
