Problem creating new C project

Artur Vieira · ‎2019-06-28

Hi

I am evaluating the new STM32CubeIDE .

When trying to create a new project (based on an existing project done using eclipse + GNU ARM Eclipse) i am encountering a problem when accessing the project properties to define include directories; Preprocessor defines, etc...

When assessing "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings" i am getting a "java.lang.NullPointerException". The error log is in the Post

The project was created as a new C project, I then copied to the folder the respective source code. The project was created as a "C project" and ToolChain selected was "MCU ARM GCC".

If i create a project as a "STM32 Project" using "Cube" to generate the code i am able to access this menu.

STM32Cube Version -> 1.0.1

Build: 3139_20190612-1256 (UTC)

Java: 1.8.0_211

OS: Windows 10 v1903

The only wizard that's supported is through the New -> STM32 Project flow.

If you want to add your own source code to an empty project you must still use the New -> STM32 Project and then select "Empty Project" on the same screen you name your project.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback.

That was the way i did to create the project (just didn't select the empty project, created a Cube project and then deleted the files and copy the ones related to my project).
