Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
This is the same report as Built-in search (rg) fails with ENOENT on macOS (arm64) which just got closed because no one responded. My situation is the same: the rg tool is in the app, can be manually run via command-line, is not quarantined…and Cursor fails to run the search tool.
Steps to Reproduce
It does not repro in all projects for me. In my main project chat I type:
Attempt to use Cursor’s grep tool; I think it fails in this project.
I see this output in the chat:
Explored 1 search ˯
Thought for 1s
Let me try a simple grep search.
Grepped attempted
There it is - the Grep tool fails because Cursor's bundled rg (ripgrep) binary is missing at the expected path:
/Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg_ENOENT
Expected Behavior
Successful search of the project..

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
