Hello all-

For a project we are currently using :
SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM
Release 7.12a Build 2023031402.52776
Windows x64

Our goal is to allow a Python script to execute when the build process completes. As I understand it, I cannot tell SES to directly execute the PY file. Instead, I have to run a batch file which in turn can execute the Python script. Going to the common project settings I selected our batch file as the Post-Build Command option. The batch file consists of this code :
The problem is that SES freezes up when doing this post-build step. No terminal window pops up for either the BAT file or the PY file and I can't find any evidence that either file actually executed. Nothing can be done with SES since it won't move past the post-build step, including even allowing you to exit the application itself, I have to use Task Manager to abort it. The only feedback I can get from the output window is :

Post-Building ‘edgecon_stm32l062’

C:/Segger_Projects/EdgeCon_0/STM32L062/post_build_script.bat


It is unclear how to further troubleshoot this issue since most posts I can find in the forums merely discuss how to launch a command by choosing it as the post-build step.

Thank you for the reply.
It does not matter what variations I put in that would or would not leave a terminal window open if I ran the command directly from the command line. I never see a terminal window spawn nor do I see any output. I have tried to use BAT files that write log outputs so that I could verify the batch file even started but none are ever written. Under Windows, even if you run a terminal window that wouldn't stay open on its own you still see the window launch and then immediately disappear when the commands are completed. If I follow the advice and change the Properties -> User Build Step -> Post Build Command to "C:\Program Files\Python310\python.exe" "post_build_script.py" where the Python script is this :

The SES Output window never moves past "Post-Building" and test_file.txt is never created. SES continues to be blocked until I use Task Manager to stop it.
