switching between on, off and toggle LED STM32F303RE - c

Question

I have a push button PC13 and my LED PA5. I want to push my button so that the current state (on, off and toggle) switches to the next one. So for example: The LED is currently on, I push a button, LED switches off, I push the button again and it toggles, I push the button again and it stays on, and so on. When I debug this the counter variable switches to the desired number I am currently at and while I debug this it works perfectly fine. However, as soon as I upload it to the board it doesn't work like in debug state. It is on and then toggles and every additional button push doesn't change.

/* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
int counter = 0;
while (1)
{
int stateOfPushButton = 0;
if (!HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_13) == 1){ //Check if button pressed
HAL_Delay(5); //check for bounce
if (!HAL_GPIO_ReadPin(GPIOC, GPIO_PIN_13) == 1){
stateOfPushButton = 1;
}
}
counter = (counter + stateOfPushButton)%3;
if(counter == 0){
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5,GPIO_PIN_SET); //Led Switch On
}
else if(counter == 1){
HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5,GPIO_PIN_RESET); //Led Switch Off
}
else{
HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_5); // Led toggled
HAL_Delay(1000);
}
/* USER CODE END WHILE */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
}
/* USER CODE END 3 */
}
EDIT:
I added a delay function to check for bounces in the button, proposed by #Jose and the problem persists.
EDIT 2:
It works better, although not ideal, when decreasing the delay function. I guess, my interrupt gets into conflict with the delay function.

Answer 1

The problem was as I suspected in the second EDIT that my interrupt gets into conflict with the delay function in toggle mode. This is due to the circumstance that the while loop continues to loop over and always gets caught in the second delay function. This makes interrupting very hard, since you need to time the interrupt always when in toggle mode it is not caught in the delay function.
To avoid this, simply increase the first delay function, which is responsible to avoid signal bounces, so that it gets longer than the second delay function in toggle mode.
