Expected Behavior
it should search file fast and move ahead but it stuck in searching and never comes out I have tried leaving it for 15-20 mins also
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue: the agent can get stuck after the Grep or Glob tools on the searching files … step and then it won’t move forward, with no error and no timeout. We’re tracking it, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet.
To link your case to the tracker, please send the Request ID from the stuck run: open the chat, top-right chat menu > Copy Request ID. If Privacy Mode is enabled, the ID may not be available.
Temporary workarounds:
Stop the request and run it again.
If that doesn’t help, reload the window via Cmd+Shift+P > Reload Window.
A couple questions that can help narrow this down:
Do you have a .cursorignore, very large directories, or symlinks in the project?
Are you opening a specific workspace folder, or a high-level parent folder? On macOS, opening a narrow, specific folder instead of a huge parent folder noticeably reduces the chance of hitting this hang.
Send the Request ID and the details above and we’ll dig in. If there’s an update on the fix, I’ll reply in the thread.
