Cursor go to definition not Working c# .net core

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

A critical feature is using “Go To Definition” in c# . I Tried F12, Ctrl+Click, Right Click - none of them work.

I tried:

Uninstalling extensions
Reinstalling extensions (and reloading)
Uninstalled Cursor, cleared app data
Doesn’t work

Steps to Reproduce

As soon as I open Cursor, I’m unable to use “Go To Definition”. I see that the shortcut is mapped, but pressing F12 (or using any other method) doesn’t do anything

Expected Behavior

go to de definition xd

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey! I had the same issue ,not 100% sure which step fixed it, but here’s what I did:

Installed the DotRush extension.

Opened the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P) and ran:

→ DotRush: Pick Project or Solution files

(selected a file manually).

Then used Developer: Reload Window to refresh everything.

Initially, “Go to Definition” still didn’t work, but after selecting the project through DotRush and reloading the window, it started working normally again (F12, Ctrl+Click, etc).

It seems the C# language server wasn’t properly loading the project before DotRush pointed to the correct file.
