Strange bug when updating Cube IDE on Mac to 1.3.1

[herbert]

When I update Cube IDE on my Mac to 1.3.1 using the built in updater, it first seems to work fine, although it keeps displaying V1.3.0. I can continue with my work, but when I leave Cube IDE and launch it again, it crashes, reporting it cannot find some Java main class.

This behaviour could not be seen on a PC, where it repeatedly works fine after updating, also correctly claiming to be V1.3.1

Has anyone else observed such a behaviour?

Regards

I updated today to STM32CubeIDE to 1.3.1 via updater on MacOS Cataline 10.15.4. Everything went well. The IDE works fine.

If you cannot find other solution try to upgrade STM32CubeMX, if necessary (or just uninstall it), and reinstall STM32CubeIDE. Though I am not sure if there is a connection between them in this context. It is just a guess.

I use MacOS Sierra, as my Mac is a little older and cannot utilise Catalina. I have already tried reinstallation a couple of times, that did not work out. Maybe I have to wait until 1.3.1 is incorporated into the regular download (this currently only gives you 1.3.0. and you have to upgrade afterwards).

About version reported in startup splash screen such is only updated after an application stop and start. Eclipse restart is not sufficient. Eclipse known behavior here.​

Yes, but the version number display is not the real problem. The real problem is that Cube IDE crashes after application restart.

Hi Herbert,

Unfortunately there is no full installer for 1.3.1. When it comes to minor releases, we only distribute P2 updates to save bandwidth and focus our resources on more value-adding development. The only thing that changed between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 is that the integrated MX version was stepped up from 5.6.0 to 5.6.1. MX 5.6.1 only contains two bug fixes. One related to MPU and one generic:

Hopefully you don't need the bug fixes in 1.3.1 and and you can just re-install a working full 1.3.0.

The next planned release is not a minor and will come with full installer.

Hello Mattias,

thanks for the info. Yes, 1.3.0 works fine for me, no problem. I am doing extended tests with CubeIDE currently as I plan a full scale transit with my university courses from Keil to CubeIDE this fall and want to make sure that my students will not experience any unpleasant surprises.

best regards
