open ANY project in Cursor (big or small, many changes or few, doesn’t seem to matter)
open the bug finder tab and click “run new”
in the preview dialog, it will correctly list the changed files and give you a quote for the price and whether or not you can do a free run (i haven’t tried changing anything in the advanced configuration, those are all at their default values)
try to start a bug finder run (free or paid, doesn’t matter)
it immediately fails, saying “Failed to parse git show output”
What happens if I run “git show” manually? I see a diff of the latest commit that basically looks how I would expect. Notably though, it opens with the git pager, so i have to press Q to exit this command.
It’s possible that, as you suggested, git attempts to open the result of git show in the interactive pager, which is stopping Cursor from being able to parse it.
Does anything change if you set Git to not use the pager (then restart all Cursor instances to ensure the config change is loaded): git config --global core.pager "cat"
I have reported this to the team regardless, who will hopefully fix this in a future update!
I just tried it, but unfortunately that doesn’t fix the issue. Bug Finder still fails with the same message. I’ve made sure to restart Cursor after changing that git config option and confirmed that running “git show” in the Cursor terminal now shows its result without using the pager.
Hopefully the team can figure out what’s really causing this issue, or if not, maybe tell them to make the error message more detailed?
