stm32cubemx: Can't initiate JxBrowser engine #272342

asmir-abdulahovic · 2023-12-05T20:35:27Z

Describe the bug

When clicking "GENERATE CODE" nothing happens, and I get the error from title in the console log.
I'm not familiar with java but I guess newer cubemx versions require some browser like functionality which failed to init within java runtime due missing .so dependencies.

Startup Info:

After further investigation I think CubeMX is trying to execute binaries found in ~/.stm32cubemx/.jxbrowser-7.30.2/Chromium, which were downloaded during the first startup.
I'm not sure if this is fixable without FHS env.

liarokapisv · 2024-01-09T19:32:42Z

This bug kind of kills my workflow. Has anyone investigated further? I will try to work things out during the weekend.

asmir-abdulahovic · 2024-01-09T21:11:08Z

I've kinda got it to work using FHS env.

Only issue I have is that the CubeMX now requires login for code generation, and the login window (embedded browser) takes a while to appear on Wayland (Sway) and uses a lot of the CPU for no reason, while it appears OK on X11.
Though you only need to login once, and than it works normaly.

I have updated package here :
https://git.project-cloud.net/asmir/nixos_flake_config/src/branch/master/packages/stm32cubemx/default.nix

I guess I shold make a pull request out of it.

angaz · 2024-01-09T21:22:22Z

CubeMX now requires login for code generation
It is sad to see ST hurt us like this.

I would appreciate a PR, it seems to be a good solution. You can ping me and I'll have a look.
Not really sure what we can do about the wait and high CPU. I think getting the package usable again, and then trying to fix that problem sounds like a good way to progress.

liarokapisv · 2024-01-09T22:47:44Z

Thanks for the fast replies! @asmir-abdulahovic Do you recall how you approached debugging the issue?

EDIT: Turns out I get a similar but not identical error:

2024-01-09 23:02:39,925 [ERROR] JxBrowserEngine:70 - Can't initiate JxBrowser engine com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.ChromiumBinariesDeliveryException: com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.ChromiumBinariesDeliveryException: Failed to extract Chromium binaries into /home/veritas/.stm32cubemx/.jxbrowser-7.35.1/Chromium

	at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1583)

This occurs at startup then clicking generate fails due to missing browser instance.

Running the jar directly with JxBrowser logs gives:

which is not much.

@angaz
thanks, will make PR over the weekend most likely

@liarokapisv
I got simmilar error when I wanted to keep pached ~/.stm32cubemx/.../Chromium by setting chattr +i.
So cube didn't get permissions to extract Chromium and failed.
Maybe try to remove/backup ~/.stm32cubemx and try again.

liarokapisv · 2024-01-09T23:20:25Z

I have deleted ~/.stm32cubemx multiple times while doing these checks, and it doesn't change anything.

asmir-abdulahovic · 2024-01-09T23:24:41Z

Than please try to run it with steam-run, maybe extractor is missing something too.
Also please try my package linked above. It's a closed source app so we are verry limited...

Edit:
Now I see you are using aarch64, I'm not sure if Cube will support that even though it's java.
Please check what kind of binary do you get in ~/.stm32cubemx/.../Chromium

liarokapisv · 2024-01-09T23:33:35Z

There are no binaries under the folder, only the lock file. JxBrowser does seem to support aarch64 linux but maybe there is something wrong at the cubemx side. Thanks for your help!

asmir-abdulahovic · 2024-01-09T23:35:22Z

JxBrowser seems packed into CubeMX.

0:28:49.846 DEBUG Finding chromium-linux64-arm.7z... [FAIL]

Maybe indicates that they didn't put arm version.

liarokapisv · 2024-01-09T23:48:39Z

Yea, that is possible. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: It seems that the .7z bundle that JxBrowser provides is corrupted for linux arm.

ajs124 · 2024-01-11T12:20:40Z

Coincidentally, I also tried to get this running last week inside an FHS env, but even with (basically) all dependencies in there (and in x86_64), one of the chromium child processes crashed in some udev function.

It also tried to load some very old libraries like libgcrypt.so.11, for some reason.

Just patching our own chromium in there and preventing it from modifying it might be a better solution, if it can be made to work.
