Cannot open example selector in STM32CubeMX v6.0.1

[TwelveSquared]

Attempting to open the example selector from the main window of STM32CubeMX 6.0.1 results in a spinning wheel and the software remains forever stuck, like it's waiting for something. Its next life, maybe, who knows.

That's STM32CubeMX 6.0.1 on Linux. Let me know if you need more information.

Hi @TwelveSquared​ ,

Can you please:

1- Attach the file /home/<user>/.stm32cubemx/STM32CubeMX.log when you see the issue

2- The output of the command line 'java -version' in a terminal

3- The version of Linux used (Ubuntu, Fedora, others ... ?), it's a virtual machine or native one ?

4- Are you behind a proxy of Direct Internet Access ?

5- STM32CubeMX 6.0.1 is installed from www.st.com or upgraded from an old STM32CubeMX version ?

Regards,

Aymen.

Hello @Aymen CHAKROUN​  thank you for replying,

1- Log file attached

2- Java version:

$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1, mixed mode, sharing)

3- This is Debian Linux 10 "Buster" - 4.19.0-10-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.132-1 (2020-07-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

4- No proxy. Directly connected to the Internet with high speed broadband connection.

5- STM32CubeMX 6.0.1 was installed as an update to an earlier version I had. I think it was 5.6.

I tried again, and waited more than 15 minutes but nothing happens. If network operations are needed, maybe it would be recommended to show a progress dialog.

Thank you for your help

Hi again @TwelveSquared​ ,

I confirm the issue, I was able to reproduce it in Ubuntu.

openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.8+10-post-Ubuntu-0ubuntu118.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.8+10-post-Ubuntu-0ubuntu118.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

I propose two ways to bypass this issue:

Solution 1

• Go to Help > Refresh Data
• Click on ‘ACCESS TO EXAMPLE SELECTOR’ button

Solution 2

• Reinstall STM32CubeMX6.0.1 form www.st.com and not from upgrading older STM32CubeMX5.6.x version

The issue will be raised internally in ST to fix it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Waiting your feedback,

Aymen.

Hello @Aymen CHAKROUN​ ,

Thank you for reproducing it.

I can confirm that Solution 1 works and the Example Selector opens after first doing Help -> Refresh Data.

Thank you for your help and notifying the Cube team to fix it.
