Cursor gets file paths wrong very often, nearly always with multiple workspaces

It always happens at some point… I’m just asking to do some changes to files, and then Cursor randomly creates new files with the same name of the files it should actually edit, and it applies the changes on those new files instead of the existing ones. This is very frustrating. I’m forced to purge everything and start a new conversation and pass just the few files I want then to reset it.

Facing the same problem here… it´s really frustrating :sleepy: Whem cursor will fix this ?

I have the same problem as well, it happens primarily with larger react projects (for me) when the file system gets very complex.

But yes, the cursor responses always get the file paths wrong on imports

Happens very often for me now since latest update to 0.43.5. Prior, never occurred or I didn’t notice. I’m certain it just doesn’t have the right context so I’ve worked around it by explicitly asking the agent to ensure it has full context and to ask me if it might be missing anything. I also test often and have moved toward test driven dev to catch these snafus in a more automated fashion… lots of integration and e2e tests.
