"code: not found"

[anthony2261 (Anthony Malkoun)]

Describe the Bug

After a recent update (1.4.*), I can no longer run code <path to dir> in my terminal, it says Command 'code' not found, but can be installed with: sudo snap install code

I’m on WSL2. I tried uninstalling cursor and reinstalling, but no luck. This also affects when I run git commit --amend as it uses code --wait (Waiting for your editor to close the file...)

Steps to Reproduce

• Open terminal in WSL2
• type code .

Expected Behavior

I expect a new cursor window to open with the path given

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

1.4.2
d01860bc5f5a36b62f8a77cd42578126270db340
x64

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @anthony2261, please run this command in the command palette to link the code command to Cursor:

Hi, I’ve already tried it and unfortunately it did not have any effect, despite the “success message”

EDIT: running code in powershell works, but not when I’m running it from within WSL2
