I am unable to get cursor to print my directories, Ive tried giving the pathways and even tagging the folder, but to no avail. I remember it could do it before, and I just updated my cursor to the latest version today. I have reindexed all of my codebase and my cursor gitignore is empty.

Please help, this was a key feature for my pro purchase.

Hey, it’s not quite clear what you mean by “print directories” What exactly isn’t working for you?

Hi there, I am unable to get composer to print my directories and paths on my system even after tagging the folder or including the files and paths, please see the attached images. I have reindexed my entire codebase as well.

I’m pretty sure it could do it a couple weeks ago, but i updated cursor earlier this week and I couldnt do this anymore. It says its unable to do it, and just keeps giving me bash code to execute, I really wanted this feature because I need cursor to be able to look through my project schemas to make global updates seamlessly, which I saw worked in composer before my pro purchase.
