How to address the error "[mbed] ERROR: Unknown Error: list index out of range"?

Hello,

When I create a new mbed project in cli using "mbed new test-prj". I get the below logs.

$ mbed new test-prj [mbed] Working path "C:\test" (directory) [mbed] Creating new program "test-prj" (git) [mbed] ERROR: Unknown Error: list index out of range

Any reason why this error message pops up? I am using mbed version 1.9.2.

Hi Vivek,

We're sorry you are having problems with the CLI. That is a strange error and we don't recognize the failure. Could you please pipe the verbose output to a text file and send it to us?

mbed new test-prj -vv | tee mbed_new.txt

Also - please tell us:

  1. What host OS are you using and which version of Python?
  2. Do you recall how you installed Mbed ?
  3. Are you observing other failures, for instance when building projects?

Regards,

Ralph, Team Mbed

Ralph,

Sorry for the delay. I had to restart my Mbed work and now still seeing the same issue. Initially, I had Mbed setup installed through mbed cli windows installer Mbed_installer_v0.4.10.exe (using Python 2.7.14) and faced this issue.

So now I tried alternate approach installing Python 3 and installing Mbed tools from Python itself and still seeing issue.

OS version: Windows 10 Enterprise version 1709 Python version: 3.7.4

Other commands like mbed import, compile work. But "mbed new" has this issue.

I am unable to attach the verbose text file. So posting the verbose output below.
