Codebase does not add any files to my context

[jpoline77]

I try to add the Codebase but it is not adding any files to the context. I have checked the index and my project is indexed and yet any time I use @codebase it doesn’t add any files. Note that I use the OPENAI API key and I cannot use the reasoning step feature because I do not have access to GPT4-32k (as most people with API access do not have access to). I have tried many queries and it never adds any files to context. If I manually add the files the contextually accurate ansers are provided. This is the similar issue to: How to fix? [The model gpt-3.5-turbo does not work with your current plan or api key]

When I delete the index the code base search works fine.

I suspect that this issue is related to the models for which I have access to with OpenAI as my “reasoning” function also does not work. I suspect that these modes use models I do not have access to and fail without error.

Edit: Also, another datapoint is that OpenAI cut-off access to a bunch of models today. This feature was working on this OpenAI account yesterday but my work account it did not. Today it does not work on either account.

[jpoline77]

Any chance that this can be looked at? I’ve seen two people with two different accounts with the same issue. I suspect that no-one usint OpenAI key can do codebase references anymore. So, it should be easy to reproduce. I can delete the index and it works, sort of, but the quality really sucks. I want to roll out cursor for our company and chat with codebase is like the key selling feature. So, it would be really nice to get this working.

[darink]

Same, would be super appreciated. And I don’t use my own OpenAI Api key! I did at one point, but cannot get rid of this issue for the life of me :<

[arvid220u]

Thanks for the report! Would you be able to send screenshots/screen recordings of what happens when you use @codebase? That would help us debug.

[jpoline77]

When I use indexing and request codebase I get no files in my context. Example below:
Indexed:

Output:

When I delete the index and do it again, I get a file search (which isn’t as good as the index method when looking over large, complex code bases).

Not indexed:

OK… I should note that this issue was with the main release of cursor:

Version: 0.22.1

When I try with the nightly release it seems it works:

I’m wondering when can I expect the fixed version to be released in a main release? If I’m doing a company wide release of an IDE, I really want to do that with the main release.

[arvid220u]

Hmmm, interesting… It doesn’t look like anything relevant to codebase indexing changed between those two releases. Perhaps it is a statefulness problem.

[jpoline77]

@arvid220u it seems to be a WSL issue. When I run the codebase reference in WSL then it doesn’t work. However, when I run it outside WSL then it works. It worked in the nightly because I couldn’t get WSL working due to some version conflict on the VS code WSL server. So, I tried it outside WSL. When I try it outside WSL with the main version it works.

[arvid220u]

Ohhh. Thank you so much for pinning it down for us!! We will put this down as a bug report and try to fix it.

[Jakob]

@jpoline77 Update 0.22.1-nightly fixes codebase search in WSL. Does it work for you now?

[jpoline77]

I can’t seem to run the nightly version and the regular version. I get an error when trying to start WSL with the nightly version: “Failed to connect to the remote extension host server (Error: Connection error: Client refused: version mismatch: renderer: 21465c04a600d8c53e5440723959c4715f7fd089 !== server: ecfbaf72d176819d122080bc0b8bcd76cc586e10)”

[jpoline77]

@Jakob any hints on how to get WSL working on nightly and regular at the same time?

[jpoline77]

@Jakob I tried nightly:
Version: 0.22.1-nightly

I had to uninstall cursor, run "Fix WSL script " and then I could run WSL in nightly.

Even with nightly, indexing does not work still.

[jdarpinian]

No, it still seems completely broken in WSL for me in version 0.32.8.

[humanperson]

Hey all - Adding that I can’t get @codebase to work either.

Here’s some things I tried, maybe something here will help debug:

Let’s try w/ a completely new/blank project, and add an index.html, index.js

First thing, it says the codebase is already indexed. Is that expected?

I deleted / re-synced the index

It references files that don’t exist.

Or says there’s no code to review.

This is the js file contents. Ostensibly we need async/await to log the message. Goal is for cursor to point this out.

Adding the file directly and it works as expected:

In my linux install, regardeles I have 100% indexed the code, no files are added to context with codebase and I always get a general solution.
