I am trying to set up codespaces with Cursor the way it works with vscode, using the codespaces extension. I keep getting an error message:
It reads “Failed to connect to codespace, exception was thrown by handler. exception: failed to start vs code remote server”
On github, I can run this codespace in a browser and it works. On vs code, I can attach to it as a remote using the same extension and it works.
I get the same error also
Same issue here, I wonder why this has no answer for more than a month now
Hey guys, unfortunately Codespaces aren’t supported in Cursor, but it’s for sure something we want to get working in the future!
Sorry for now, but watch this space 
This is a REAL shame, is there a way the community can up-vote a feature request given it already works in vscode?
We train juniors with a wide variety of machines and make heavy use of codespaces to make sure we’re all using the same baseline enviorbnment and IDE extensions. It makes the learning curve the same for all instead of wasting a day or so per person trying to get old machines up to spec with brew etc.
Because this doesn’t work the same as vscode, we can’t use cursor.
That’s a big pill, we’re back to copy/paste between claude and vscode which hilariously feels like the dark ages (how fast we adapt to the new normal!).
Show stopper for us.
