Question

stm32cubeclt prepending itself to path when vs code is opened

Good afternoon,

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and whenever I start vs code while stm32cubeclt is installed then my path is filled with paths to stm32cubeclt and it's different tools. I don't have any ST related extensions.

- How do I stop stm32cubeclt from prepending my path with itself?
- When does this happen?
- Is it only with vs code or other software as well?
- Is there any other solution which allows programming stm32 MCU's using cli?

If this is intended behaviour I hope it will be changed in the future. I don't know how to remove it because whenever I start vs code again it's back and I have no idea where it's being set since I can't find it in any typical configuration file like .bashrc, .profile or similar. I don't know what to do except changing all my other settings or remove cubeclt altogether.

Hello  @obj87, 

Try starting other software that uses the CLI (like a terminal) and check if the PATH is modified. If it’s only happening with VS Code, then it’s confirmed that it's related to VS Code’s configuration or extensions

Yes, using OpenOCD or stlink

The path is not modified when I use the system terminal. Only the integrated terminal in vs code.
I also tried uninstalling stm32cubeclt which caused it to stop. Reinstalled it, and it was back.

I solved my immediate problem using 'STM32_Programmer.sh' in the STM32CubeProgrammer bin folder.

I'd also like to clarify that I don't use any VS code extensions related to ST or ST's products.
