"There is no active editor that provides an outline"

[deta]

Hello everyone, I am on Windows 11 and am using STM32CubeIDE version 1.18.0 (also tried on verison 1.18.1). I have logged into myST within the software as well (through Help->STM32Cube Updates -> Connection to myST). I can edit the pins in the .ioc file just fine, but I cannot open the code editor; I keep getting this particular error. I have tried closing and reopening the app, restarting my computer, deleting and reinstalling and downgraded the version to try to verify if the problem was in the software. 

Can someone help me?

What, exactly, do you do when trying to open the code editor?

It looks like you haven't yet generated any code to edit - so have you tried generating code first?

[deta]

Yes, I click Ctrl+S to save my pin configurations and get the prompt that the system will generate the code, and if I'd like to change to C/C++ perspective. Which is what should happen. But then this error occurs.

So no code is generated?

What happens if you click the button for the C/C++ perspective?

I was also facing this issue. No code is being generated. 

Consider updating the IDE. My issue was fixed after I updated it. During the update, some necessary toolchains was downloaded.

So was that the issue described in this pinned post:  [Resolved] STM32CubeIDE project creation issue ?
