Immediately after creating a new project / ‘codespace’ from a remote github repo, I cannot index the repo. In the Cursor settings I get the error:

Codebase Indexing - Error: Root directory does not exist

The ‘Retry Index’ button is not clickable. It has no effect or implicit action when clicking it.

Hey, if you open the output tab in Cursor (CMD+Shift+U), and open the Cursor Indexing & Retrieval tab, can you let us know what you see there?

Now the chat with single file on overleaf online becomes unavailable.
