V5 cannot access "C/C++ Build" menu

[PerennialNovice]

on a quite fresh install of V5 (5.0.0.20251172146) on win11 I cannot access the C/C++ Build menu

tested with esp32 platform only

[jantje]

I tested here and it works.
Do you have a log file or can you share the project?

[uzi18]

This error shows sometimes on the left items - if You click on other than Sloeber one.

[jantje]

As I said. I tried it here and it works fine on my system (windows 11).
Some of these are part of Sloeber so they should work.
There probably is some error somewhere due to a bad config somewhere.
So I's like to see the log of a failing project as I haven't seen any yet.

[uzi18]

Had this on broken workspace once.

Here's what was written to the log after I tried to access C/C++ Build:

@PerennialNovice
The log you provided contains following line
at io.sloeber.ui.actions.OpenPreferencesHandler.execute(OpenPreferencesHandler.java:64)
That line tells me this is related to the preference pages and not the project properties.
It also contains
at org.eclipse.cdt.ui.newui.AbstractPage.getIcon(AbstractPage.java:1212)
Which basically tells me a icon can be provided but is not.
As my graphical skills are limited I don't provide icons when not needed.
Getting rid of the log would be great but a quick look did not show me how I could do so.

[PerennialNovice]

strange, I did open the project properties page, then navigate to the log folder, open the log, delete all and save.
Back in sloeber I then hit the "C/C++ build" menu item and copied what appeared in the log file after this action over here.

redid that now, and I get the exact same result: error message when trying to access "C/C++ build" and the exact same error log messages

[jantje]

I tried to reproduce here but I do not get the error.
Not when open the project properties nor when I open the preferences.
This may be related to me running from eclipse and not from a "release build"

I assume you get this error (for I don't know which reason) but still I do not se a link with the "C/C++ build" page as that is part of a a AutoBuild plugin not a sloeber plugin.
Can you share the .project, .cproject and .autoBuildProject files?

[PerennialNovice]

They are included in the .zip file up there: #1711 (comment)

[jantje]

Can you share the .project, .cproject and .autoBuildProject files?

Thanks for providing. All seems ok.
I'll try to import the project and se whether I have the issue then.

[jantje]

Seems this is a release package problem.
So in debug mode the problem does not exist. When I download the build from github I get the same error.
Something is missing from the build; now I need to find out what is missing.

[jantje]

It looks like it is fixed now :-)
