Describe the Bug

Seem to have an issue where the AI does not read tagged file, gets confused, and tries searching manually. The AI acts like the file tagged was never included. I saw someone earlier in the Discord also have this problem.

I asked it in the prior message to use the exact things found in the tagged file, and it seemingly made up random things (assume it never got the tagged file). I then rejected the changes, repeated my question, and it still did not receive the tagged file as it tries to manually search for it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Tag a file
  2. AI acts like that file was never included

Expected Behavior

AI should know about and read the tagged file.

It finally read the file I tagged manually, but it might be because I switched to that file in the editor too.

Hey, this can happen when your session lasts a long time. I see that you managed to solve the problem. Could you check if this occurs when you start a new session? Also, try updating the Cursor version here it might resolve the issue. However, if it continues, let us know, and I’ll pass it on to our team.

Having the same issue. I have multiple files with the same name in different directories. Not sure if that is what is causing the problem, but I thought that when tagging a file, Cursor was doing some magic to pass the full path to the AI. However, it’s not picking up on that at all.

I’m not seeing what you did to resolve this. Also, this is a new project with not a lot of files and a fairly new conversation with the composer, so there isn’t much context being passed.

This seems critical for the user to rely on.

Anyway, I’m just passing along info, and any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey, this should now be fixed, just make sure you are on the latest version of Cursor, and start a new Composer to ensure you are starting fresh!
