project creation for enhanced pack fails with ERROR__CUBESCRATCHFILE__STARTUPFILE_INVALID

[scaprile]

I have these working examples for an enhanced package. I work for an ST partner (Cesanta) and ST people in charge of validating the pack for the MadeForSTM32 label requested I moved drivers into a common directory and configure the project to use relative paths in STM32CubeMX
https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Introduction_to_STM32Cube_Expansion_Packages 5.1 step 2

When I switch the project to use relative paths for the firmware libraries as instructed and generate code again, STM32CubeMX does not modify the .cproject file, so examples won't build anymore.

I noticed this in the STM32CubeMX shell log:

Looks like something is missing, I'm eager to help in debugging.

Hello @scaprile ,

Can you please share your ioc file?

You should check the valid path in your mx.scratch file and .ioc file input data?

ProjectManager.CustomerFirmwarePackage=
ProjectManager.DefaultFWLocation=
ProjectManager.FirmwarePackage=

 Thanks

Hello @Imen.D 

How come I have to check a path inside a file that was generated by your tool ?

I just started a new project, added our pack, built the project.

Copied contents of the Drivers folder to another one some levels above,

Opened the project with STM32CubeMX, followed instructions as per the link pasted above, things happened as described above.

ProjectManager.CustomerFirmwarePackage= ../../..     set by your tool
ProjectManager.DefaultFWLocation= false              set by your tool
ProjectManager.FirmwarePackage= STM32Cube FW_F7 V1.17.1    (also)

Please find the whole project attached.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26834 dic 5 16:11 .cproject
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8535 dic 5 18:20 .mxproject
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1178 dic 5 15:47 .project

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10273 dic 5 18:19 test.ioc

Generating code after those changes at 18:20 does not change any of the other files, so proper references for Drivers files are not introduced

Really ? No support ?
