Cubemx v6.8 deletes the "Middlewares" folder, even if there are other non-cubemx generated files in it.

[Zack]

Created a new project with v6.8 and reproduced the issue

Steps:

1.cubeMX create new STM32F334 project and generate code.

(Project-application structure-advanced

Project-IDE-MDK-v5.32

Code Generator- copy only the necessary library files

Code Generator- Delete previously gernerated files)

2.Create a Middlewares folder (/project folder/Middlewares), copy some folders in this folder (/project folder/Middlewares/mymiddleware).

3.Generate code again, Middlewares folder is deleted.

Hello @Zack​ 

Thank you for your contributions and for your detailed explanations,

I confirm the issue on my side, it has been reported to STM32CubeMX development team .

Internal ticket number: 147368(This is an internal tracking number and is not accessible or usable by customers).

I will keep you posted with updates.

Thanks,

I discover the same thing on STM32CubeIDE 1.12.0 (windows version) with Touchgfx 4.21:

Everytime I generate code by configurator on STMCubeIDE, thisone delete the "Middlewares" folder from my project.

In my case, I must re-generate one more time the Code by Touchgfx.

What is the workaround to get the Middlewares back that I need to compile my project in STMCubeIDE?

The Bug also exists in STM32CubeMX 6.8.1 and STM32CubeIDE 1.12.1.

I found this clumsy workarround for me:

If I have to change the configuration in the *.ioc-file I rename the "Middlewares"-folder without updating the references to "Middleware" for example. Then I change the configuration and save it. After everything was updated I change the folder name back to "Middlewares".

Hello @JensH​ 

Thank you for having reported.

I assume this is the exact same issue already reported to the development team and tracked by the Ticket 151040 and that will be fixed as soon as possible.

Thx

@Ghofrane GSOURI Can you please provide a status update for these internal tickets (147368 & 151040)? We are still experiencing this problem with the latest version:

STM32CubeIDE v1.16.0 (Build: 21983_20240628_1741 (UTC))
STM32CubeMX v6.12.0-RC9 (Build: 20240628-1431 (UTC))

Any news? still have the issue in latest cubemx  release (6.14.1)

@Ghofrane GSOURI 

Hate to reopen an old thread - but still happening in 6.16.1!!!

 

This is even with the "Delete Previously Generated Files" UNCHECKED in the Project Manager.

Hello @ryedwards 

If you named your added files as Middlewares or Utilities, please rename them. These are considered reserved folder names for STM32CubeMX.

Also, if you have added a subgroup in the MDK-ARM project, go to File → Save All.
This way, your added user files will not be deleted.
