Cursor AI Chat - Not Responding

VermontForest · October 28, 2024, 1:25pm

I am not getting any response, or error messages from the AI Chat feature.

I have restarted Cursor multiple times.

I am on the Pro subscription.

I am running Cursor on a Windows laptop. What do I do?

Tell me more about what’s going on. Are chat responses not coming through, or can’t you type in the chat window? What model are you using?

VermontForest · October 28, 2024, 6:25pm

After typing in the chat window the text is accurately displayed in the chat window.

When pressing ‘Enter’ there is no response from the chat window.

The chat window’s contents can be edited.

The ‘Enter’ key can be repeatedly pressed yet there is no response from the chat.

I was actually going to create a thread about this same problem. I’m on Linux but having the same issue. It seems when I send a prompt the first time after booting up Cursor, it works. But all subsequent prompts just show the loading icon but never produce any results. It does appear that if I close the IDE and start it up again, the first prompt will work but, then it fails on any additional prompts unless I restart the IDE. I’ve tried different models but the behavior is always the same. I have had rare instances where I can maybe get two or three prompts with results before it locks up but that doesn’t happen often. I don’t see any errors generated within VS code either.

Again, I’m on Linux (Linux Mint 21)

and the OP is on Windows but it sounds like we’re having the same issue. Here’s the details from my machine. To give you a little background, I maintain a very large web application that has roughly 750 VueJS files for the front end. I was working on upgrading from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and Cursor was making it a breeze when it works properly.

Steps to produce the error:

Open a file (VueJS file as mentioned above). Ctrl + L to open the chat. Enter prompt of “Convert to Vue 3”.
Chat works as expected, refactors the file almost perfectly and allows me to apply the code changes after review
Go to the next file, Ctrl + L, Enter the same exact prompt and I just see the three loading dots which never go away. I even tried leaving there for about an hour and it still just kept loading, no errors of any kind are displayed. (my screenshot didn’t pick up the loading “…” part of it but it was there)

infinite-loading735×1360 18.6 KB

Also, as I mentioned earlier, if I close the IDE, reopen it and try the prompt for the file that was hung previously, it usually works. But upon moving to a different file, the same problem almost always happens again.

It appears I can only attach one screenshot at a time. So…

I can put the output of any log files you would like to see in a follow up comment. Just let me know which ones.

I have the same issue, on Windows
01) Screenshot of issue (redact any sensitive information)

I try to chat in my main chat for this project and when I press enter to send or click the “chat”
button, it doesn’t do anything. seems like a connection issue.

Also experiencing this in my Nuxt/Vue project on MacOS. No feedback when I hit return. I can edit the message, but can’t submit. Other projects work fine. Getting these three errors in dev tools console:

Not sure what the first error is about, but the second two seem to come from some screenshots that are no longer there.

Hmm, did you ever put images into the context manually? and then delete those images later?

deanrie · October 29, 2024, 12:44pm

The error indicates that the system can’t find or read the files at the specified path: c:\My Synology Drive\dev\tcgscan\debug_output\2_detected_bounds.jpg and 3_extracted_card.jpg.

Try clearing the cache using this guide:

deanrie · October 29, 2024, 12:49pm

@kryq7ik @louderthan10

You should try clearing the cache using the guide I posted above too.

0xquinto · October 30, 2024, 4:47pm

I am having the same issue where the chat is unresponsive, I cleared temp files

oddstan · November 11, 2024, 3:09pm

scenario in which it happens is you paste screenshot from buffer, then after you reopen cursor they will be gone. maybe only after reboot. and on next run when you open same project it will get errors coz screenshots added from buffer (win+shift+s ctrl+v or in similar way) are gone.
since chat in cursor can use buffer would be good if it handled such scenarios

to solve issue you can go through all your chat manually deleting screenshots where they ve been added.

VermontForest · November 19, 2024, 1:30pm

Unresponsive chat. New chat works.

How do I migrate the lessons learned from my old chat to new?

How about the ability to save an entire chat to an MD file?

Copying a chat is not feasible.

i have been getting this issue alot. I’ve had to just summarize entire chats and paste into a new chat. That is the only solution I’ve found. Not really a “solution”, persay. I don’t know I’ve had issues on my home workstation. However, I’ve certainly had issues with my work laptop, an Apple MacBook Air. It happens pretty often, and I haven’t seen anyone else mention this issue online recently, so I thought it may have just been due to the length of my chats or because I would attach 8-10 files sometimes in chat context every message throughout the chat.

I’m not sure what context is helpful; I’m mostly working on WordPress websites and editing theme files in the cursor tool. Mostly PHP, but some JS and SCSS files, too. Pro subscription. I have turned on these specific models: Claude (all), cursor-small, GPT-40, 01-mini, 01-preview. Currently, I’m getting ‘unable to reach anthropic’; however, that’s a different issue for a different thread.

It seems you’re facing context window overflow. I recommend using models with a long context window or breaking the project into smaller tasks. If you add the previous chat to the context, remember that it also takes up space, as do all your files. Sometimes it’s easier to start from scratch but give the model the right prompt to keep it informed.
