STMCubeIDE v1.16.1 UI is Trimming Double Quotes when Adding Symbols to Project

davef · ‎2024-10-22

Issue occurs in this build:

To reproduce:

In an STM32MCU project right click properties
Navigate to C/C++ General -> Paths And Symbols
Select the Symbols Tab
Add a new Symbol and in the value field, reference an environment variable inside quotes e.g. "${PATH}"
Click save and the trailing double quote is removed

The workaround is to edit the symbols elsewhere see below noting where I added the extra quote:

Thank you. Another thing I noticed is that system environment variables only seem to be refreshed on opening the workspace, is there a way to refresh the cached environment variables when running a pre compile action or script?
