Anysphere Dev Container

Describe the Bug

My issue is I have deleted all docker containers from my system. I am trying to “Dev Containers: Rebuild without cache and reopen in container”.

I get another cursor window that pops up, the Opening Remote spinner, is spinning, but ultimately a big “The window is not responding” “You can reopen or clost the window or keep waiting.” dialog box pops up.

If I keep waiting I get, “The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘crash’, code ‘132’)” “We are sorry for the inconvenience… etc.” dialog box.

The title at the top of cursor has the hash of the container I deleted, so I’m not sure why it’s trying to open it, if I want a new one.

I have no way to work now.

Steps to Reproduce

Close Cursor
Delete your docker container from docker cli
Try to Rebuild the container

Expected Behavior

Just rebuild the container, you seem to be trying to reopen the old one.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This is what I get out of the Remote - Dev Container output window

Hi @lokimon, this error code implies that the editor itself is crashing. Does this happen every time you try to open and build the container?

If so, I’d suggest doing a clean install of Cursor to clear the cache. Please see these instructions.
