Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

On windows when connected to a remote windows system via SSH I am able to browse files, edit files, etc. but the agent shows a connection error. It seems to be specifically when the console is showing. If I hide the console, I am able to use the agent again, but when I show the console, the agent connection error comes back. In the developer tools, this error shows.

[composer] submitChatMaybeAbortCurrent outer error Error: [UriError]: If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component must either be empty or begin with a slash (“/”) character

Additional Information

This seems to have been a bug that existed in prior versions and was fixed, but it seems to be back now.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Write and StrReplace tools return "Invalid arguments" when workspace is opened via Remote-SSH (Mac → Windows)
Connection Lost Error - Per Agent
When working on a remote SSH server, the first session runs normally, but subsequent sessions prompt the error An unexpected error occurred on our servers

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known regression - the UriError in resolveRelativePath is a Windows path parsing bug when collecting terminal context.

Workaround: Switch the bottom panel from Terminal to Output (select “Remote-SSH” in the dropdown). This should allow agent to work while terminal context isn’t collected.

Similar reports:

The team is tracking this. Let me know if the workaround helps.

Thank you, yes the workaround works but is definitely not ideal when developing command-line tools. Is there an ETA by chance on this regression getting fixed/released?

6

Unfortunately we don’t have an exact ETA yet. This is a regression that came back in recent versions after a previous fix.

For now, the workaround using the Output panel is still the main solution. I get that this is inconvenient when you’re developing CLI tools.

7

I just updated and it seems this regression has been fixed. I’ll post back if I notice it break again.

9

Nevermind, I lied, it’s still broken.

Same problem

I completely uninstalled it and then reinstalled version 2.2.44, which resolved the issue.
The SSH plugin version is 1.0.38.
