[0.47.5] Overleaf Workshop Plugin Stuck on "Generating"

[OniReimu]

Bug Report: Overleaf Workshop Plugin Stuck on “Generating”

Description

When using the Overleaf Workshop plugin (Login with Cookie) in Cursor version 0.47.5, the Cursor tab gets stuck on “Generating” indefinitely and becomes unresponsive for all edit, ask, and agent modes. Doing inline Edit (CMD+K) is fine, but Edit in the separate Cursor tab got stuck on “Generating” indefinitely.

This issue was not present in version 0.45, where the plugin worked fine.

Not help

• Open a new Chat
• Restart Cursor
• Reboot computer
• Reinstall Cursor (0.47.5)
• Load historical chats
• Open a new window and remove/add the workspace again

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Cursor version 0.47.5.
2. Install the Overleaf Workshop plugin.
3. Try to use the plugin—it will get stuck on “Generating” and never complete.

Expected Behavior

The Overleaf Workshop plugin should generate results normally without getting stuck, as it did in version 0.45.

Output

In this case, the indexing just got stuck at “Loading” indefinitely in the Cursor Settings.

Impact

This issue prevents effective usage of Cursor for writing reports and research papers, making it a critical problem for scientists and researchers who rely on Overleaf integration.

Please investigate this issue and provide a fix. Thank you!

Same problem here, stuck on “Generating” since 0.47.5!!
But no “Overleaf” plugin installed
I have the “Remote - SSH” and “Remote Explorer” plugins though

OK, now I perceived that this problem of not generating only happens on windows that use SSH. Generating on windows with local codebases work.

So it is a problem with the SSH plugin

[OniReimu]

Yours seems related to my issue. I can also generate using the local codebase, but when switching to a remote service whether via SSH or login with a cookie (Overleaf Workshop uses login with a cookie), it just gets stuck. This worked fine in 0.45.17, so it’s pretty clear the issue is with the new Cursor version, not the plugins. It makes no sense to say both SSH and Overleaf plugins need fixes when Cursor should be the one ensuring compatibility.

Same issue. I am using Cursor + Overleaf workflow extension but in the chat it is stuck in “Generating” and also I do not get text completion in the .tex file as well.

Please fix this developers!

Encounter the same problem.
At first, I thought if came from my network.
Hope it will be fixed as soon as possible

I am encountering the same issue. I am on Cursor version 0.47.8
However, for me cursor tab and agent works fine on other ssh hosts but not in Overleaf Workshop document.

I tried both 0.46, 0.47 with overleaf plug in, and both of them cannot generate the text.
0.45 has no issue. So, I guess the temporal solution would be downgrading it as for now.

OMG can someone fix this ■■■■ already? It has been MONTHS, this is very important. I need cursor to write LaTeX as do many people

same problem here

[ghafoorharis]

same here
Please someone fix this.

[Arthurpoda]

According to this issue, the plugin author is delegating this fix to cursor.
