Thank you for your response! That is, I created a new workspace "C:\ST\workspace_my\.metadata", put the project there. Here is the log file!

[Cartu38 OpenDev]

Sounds better as not weird trace here. Are you able to import back to such workspace a project from failing workspace (File > Open Project From File System) ? Once import done what about Device configuration Tool behavior ?

[Julien D]

Your log file only reports Exceptions with git plugin for your project:

Could you try to disconnect your project from Git in STM32CubeIDE with Right click on the project > Team > Disconnect and try headless-build again.

This could be reverted with Right click on the project > Team > Share Project, and does not have impact on Git repository history.

I am actually using the project with SmartGit (advanced Git GUI software) and have never configured the project for Git in CubeIDE.

Might this be the cause of the issue?

[Julien D]

I'm not SmartGit aware, only using Git bash or eGit on Windows, but the tool could be the cause.

One test you could try is :

• Close SmartGit
• Rename the .git folder in your project to .git-backup
• Relaunch headless-build

[Julien D]

You must be aware that this is not risks free.

7-2018 toolchain under plugins directory can be garbage collected at any time, depending on P2 willingness. It means that your "Local" toolchain won't exist anymore.

To be sure to keep it safely, install it thanks to the Toolchain Manager as described above.

[Anguel]

Thanks @Cartu38 OpenDev​ , looks like I received exactly the same through the update channel.

[ADmit.2]

Now the project is not even going...

[ADmit.2]

I will try to upgrade to the old version, CubeIDE_1.5.1. I will try to upgrade to the old version, 1.5.1. The project has become, and I just need to fix a few things. Time is short. Thank you for trying to help me !!!

[Cartu38 OpenDev]

You're welcome.

Ok project is not building but here according to me more project setup than tool issue or at least vs. first sharing done you're not facing here hanging tool what was a mess (as refresh workspace sounds helping may you have original one corrupted at a point ? ... due to any hard exit of tool or ?°.

Then about project build issue maybe because new workspace not at same level than original one and relying on some external dependencies or ... (may have plenty or issue roots here but all such shoudl be fixable shortly based on your project knowledge looking at build trace).
