Hey team, I’ve been trying again some Cursor Cloud Agents recently. They used to work for our frontend repo, but it looks like it’s not the case anymore.
They consistently fail during the Checking out repository… step, which leads me to believe that we are reaching the platform’s limit but this is not documented anywhere, nor in any forums and the error is not explicit (cf video attached)
Is there anything we could do to make this work ?
Steps to Reproduce
Try to run a cloud agent for a big repo
Expected Behavior
The agent starts and run the prompt
Screenshots / Screen Recordings
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
The good news is that repo size shouldn’t be the issue here. Our own (very large) monorepo works great with cloud agents.
Looking at your logs, they match a pattern we’ve seen where the culprit was the .cursor/environment.json file for a given repo. Common issues include outdated repo URLs.
We know we need to surface .cursor/environment.json issues better (there’s a ticket for it), so if this turns out to be the problem, I’ll make sure to add your case to help prioritize the fix.
