Win11 - Failed to generate code CubeMX 6.13

Hi,

CubeMX is unable to generate code. The program freezes and I find the following message in the logs.

Are there any restriction to what path it can handle? 

I'm trying to save it to my google drive which is being mapped to G: by the Google drive client.

Saving it to a location on my physical drives works without any troubles.

Better don't. If one actively looks for problems, one finds them pretty soon.

Pausing the drive client makes no difference.

Too bad, I like to use drive to sync my workspace..

Version control tools (git and others) exist for this goal.

The issue could be a space appearing in the path. Better to avoid that as not every program handles it appropriately.

Turned out I had my Google drive client set to 'stream' my files in stead of making a local copy.

Changing this solved my issue.

Here is some more info also how to get rid fo the space in "My drive".

thanks for everyone's suggestions.
