Forum: System Workbench for STM32

Cannot create launch configuration after update (SystemWorkbench rendered useless)

After updating to the most recent System Workbench version, I cannot create a new launch configuration. I’m on Windows 10.

The “Edit launch configuration properties” dialog comes up all right when hitting “New” (AC6 STM32 Debug) in “Run/Debug Settings” . When changing tabs, an “Update LCD has encountered a problem” error arises with a “java.lang.NullPointerException”.

If I simply hit “OK”, not changing tabs or anything, accepting the defaults, nothing happens typically. Sometimes the error feedback form is show, babbling about “.....waiting to receive focus”, or the like, I dont’t remember exactly. The dialogue stays sitting there. I dutifully sent the feedback forms.

Cancel works.

So System Workbench is rendered useless for me, not being able to debug due to lack of a configuration.

Btw, in old projects with working lauch settings, the same happens when I try to add and/or duplicate a new launch config.

Nobody out there on Windows 10 experiencing the same?

Hi straubm,

I can reproduce the error.
In preparation to a fix, for the time being you can create, edit or duplicate and launch debug config directly via the menu: right click on your project -> “Debug as” -> “Debug Configurations...”
