KiCad 8.0.7 Symbol Error - MCU_ST_STM32WBA

Schematic Library Symbols
1

Hi,

v8.0.7 is freshly installed. I open the symbol editor and always get the following error. The symbol is actually empty. What can I do? OS is Windows 11.

I have reinstalled it without transferring the old configuration. The editor error icon is no longer there. Instead, I have everything in default settings and can reconfigure everything.

Had this one as well. There seems to be a disconnect between the symbol list and the actual symbols.
Ride out the errors and go to:
Preferences → Manage symbol libraries and disable the library in question.

Small bug, will prolly be fixed in the next release.

I think the STM32 symbol library were recently split into family categories like MCU_ST_STM32C0, MCU_ST_STM32F0, MCU_ST_STM32F1, etc…
Pretty sure that previously it was just one big category os STM32 symbols.
This is probably the reason.

The symbol library “MCU_ST_STM32WBA” is merged into “MCU_ST_STM32WB”

Well, it doesn’t seem to have hit the symbol library gitlab repository yet. I just did a pull to the latest, and this error is still present.

EDIT: I stand corrected. After reading this similar issue #52392 I realized the repo HAS been updated. That is, the default fp-lib-table and sym-lib-table files in these two repos

have indeed been updated, and I wasn’t aware. In this case, I just manually edited my system tables ( ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/8.0 ), but I could have just copied them over as well. Note… I don’t change these in my workflow, and use project and PCB specific libraries for custom and changed parts.
