Upgrading from Cura 4.12 to 5.6 no longer heats extruders or bed (sh.itjust.works)

Hi folks,

I've used Cura as my main slicer with my Flashforge Creator Pro for several years with no major issues. It was a while since I had upgraded (4.12) and I decided to try out the latest version (5.6).

My printer and slicing profiles seemed to transfer over automatically, but when I tried to slice and print, I encountered a strange issue: It no longer heats the extruders or the bed.

It just starts "printing" immediately with stone-cold extruders and bed. The temperature settings in my slicing profiles seem unchanged from 4.12, so I'm a bit at a loss as to what is happening.

I can verify that this is not a hardware issue with the printer, as I can run print jobs generated in Cura 4.12, and the heaters work just fine.

Anyone else encounter this or a similar issue? Any known fixes or recommended troubleshooting advice?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your comment! Not sure how I missed it.

I did some experimentation and came to similar conclusions. I've upgraded to 5.7 and can confirm that this bug is fixed. Thanks again for your comment!
