CubeIDE 18.1 does not create CubeMX project - no .ioc file

Michal Dudka · ‎2025-07-15

Hi,
I encountered the following problem on two different computers with different versions of STM32CubeIDE. I select File->New->STM32 Project, then i select MCU or Board and click to Finish. Then pops up window called "STM32 Project" to fill up project name. Usualy there is "next" button to select another features, like which CubeFW version to use etc. But now, the "next" button is greyed out. Probably due field called "Target Project type" with greyed out option "STM32 Cube". When i hit "finish" button, IDE creates empty project without ioc file - in other words it does not open CubeMX to configure project.

I am not aware of interfering with the IDE in any way (plus I observed it on two independent PCs). I am including screenshots.

Thanks,
Michal

This worked for me...

It does make me wonder, what happened to the normal tool flow?

See the pinned topic STM32CubeIDE STM32Cube project creation issue - ST are looking into it ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

This has brought me beyond the impasse. Thank you.
