[Resolved] STM32CubeIDE project creation issue

[Semer CHERNI]

Updated post to reflect permanent fix

Dear STM32CubeIDE user,

Further to the recent STM32CubeIDE project creation issue, we would like to inform you that a solution is now available for you.

This permanent fix applies to all STM32CubeIDE versions.

1. Issue description

When creating a new STM32 project in STM32CubeIDE, the “STM32Cube” radio button may have become unresponsive, blocking the “Next” button after the product selection screen. This prevented the project creation from being completed.

2. Permanent fix

You can apply this resolution to any STM32CubeIDE version, even if you applied the temporary workaround that we recently shared with you.

1. Open STM32CubeIDE.
2. Refresh the database.
   Go to Help > STM32Cube updater > Select “Check the Target selector Device Database Updates”
3. Restart STM32CubeIDE
4. If you deactivated the auto refresh function previously, you may wish to reactivate it for all your STM32Cube tools. Here is how to proceed:

• STM32CubeIDE:
  Go to Window > Preferences > STM32Cube > Firmware Updater.
  Select your preferred auto-refresh option.

• STM32CubeMX:
  Go to Help > Connection & Updates > Updater Settings.
  Select your preferred auto-refresh option.
• STMCUFinder:
  Click on the Settings icon > Settings > Updater Settings.
  In the "Database Auto-Refresh" section, select your auto-refresh option.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this temporary issue.

If you require further information or assistance, please contact our customer support.

Best regards,

STMicroelectronics

I tried re-installing cubeide and also followed the steps. It still does not allow to create STM32 project type. 

Deleted all .stm32 directories and started stm32cubeide and still the same. 

UPDATE: Resolved after deleting the workspace directory and now it allow to create STM32Cube project type. 

UPDATE 2: It greyed out again after first attempt. So everytime I have to clear workspace .metadata directory

UPDATE 3: I cannot get it work anymore. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling cubeide after deleting all .stm and workspace directory.

Please provide permanent solution as this is the second time I had to spend 2 hours in debugging this issue.

Please advice.

im facing the same problem. im using 1.19version in mac. i've tried to follow the instruction as said, but i could not find folder “.stmcufinder” to delete. where is the exact position in mac? 

[sergey23]

It's in your $HOME

rm -rf ~/.stmcufinder/

Those "solutions" don't work for me nevertheless, I am trying to start 1.19 on my Mac for hours now with no luck, deleting and reinstalling everything multiple times.

Like, ST people, seriously? This is not something subtle. This is basic stuff.

This is so unprofessional and unbecoming of ST.
