Codebase indexing not working for me. No errors or anything. When I ask questions about codebase it just says something like “what the heck are you talking about”.
I click delete index and compute index and nada. Just takes under 1 sec to show the green line.
Tried this on multiple folders, same. My version is 0.41.3.
I have seen this version is working correctly for another friend…So I dont know what this is about.
Hi @Ozzy1
Please share some details about your system and logs:
I have the same problems since months… nobody helps me… i sent emails and nobody answers.
Even although they are developing a great product, they need to care of their customers.
Apple M1 Pro chip
Macos Sonoma 14.6.1
32gb ram
logs? I dont see any logs
Hi Alvaro777, did u already create a bug ticket? can u share the link with me?
Not who you were replying to, but
Sent one email, never got reply
@darink How did your call with the developer go ? I suppose they didnt follow up?
No, we didn’t call! But also it was one email sent out during a busy time.
I’m also not 1000% I’m still experiencing the issue, doc indexing is currenrly working but I have muscle memory to not try @ing folders or my codebase on macos now, got sick of troubleshooting.
I also face indexing error its just says “handshake failed” after some time of indexing
Same here. New to cursor but I am very disappointed. I tried multiple repo’s, typescript, javascript, rails, elixir and rust. All had the same indexing error, handshake failed.
This is my Cursor about:

I did several suggestions I found on the web. But nothing works.
Anybody an idea?
What I found that it doesnt work on my mac, but works on my windows computer, although still not flawless (it is getting handshake failed error time to time)
Does anyone know how to check relevant cursor logs? this is so awkward, we are pushing to resolve the error although no one from cursor team is interested to resolve this 
This is a clear sign of a market that demands a strong team. Anyone want to join me to create an alternative to cursor? 
go to output (where the terminal is) and on the right side select the correct log, here Cursor Indexing & Retrievals
