Failed to execute a custom pre-debug action

[khalil]

Hi,

I have been using VisualGDB + VisualStudio for STM32 based target. Recently, I started to face an issue while flashing the target from VisualStudio.

• I have confirmed the HOST PC connection with target device via JTAG and everything seems fine…
• From VisualStudio, I’m getting the error “Failed to execute a custom pre-debug action” while flashing the target.

I’m not sure about the reason behind this error as I haven’t changed/updated any VisualGDB project configurations.

Regards,

Umair

Update:

After going though the git history. I found out that someone from my team has added a “PreDebugAction” in the vgdbcmake. I disabled it for now by removing that section from vgdbcmake. Can you please guide me, how can I disable it from GUI and why It was causing issues with flashing code in debug mode?

</CustomBuild>
<CustomDebug>
<PreDebugActions>
