Hey all, I’m starting a Rails app running on Ruby 3.3.5 which I installed using asdf. This setup works fine in a terminal window, even in Cursor’s terminal.
When I ask composer to run ruby --version it prints 2.6 as the version (which is the version native to MacOS).
It seems like composer doesn’t start a bash shell and as such doesn’t run the .bashrc lines added by asdf.
Any suggestions on forcing Cursor to correctly pick up the right Ruby version based on the .tools-version file or at least correctly load a bash shell when running its commands?
Hey, I think this is happening because Cursor doesn’t recognize your default terminal. Try selecting the terminal you need in the settings. More information can be found here:
If this doesn’t help, let me know, and I’ll try to look into it further.
in the bottom of my .zshrc that would put asdf in the front of the path for login shells. However, cursor’s composer was seeing a bunch of other stuff in the front of the path, including /usr/bin, which forced it to pick up system default ruby (I imagine this a problem for most other tools that might have a system default installed).
I found a solution which worked: add that same line into a .zshenv file, which I didn’t even have previously, but which Cursor seems to pickup. Now Cursor Composer sees the asdf shims at the front of the path.
