Cursor is corrupting the files

Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The Gateway file got corrupted again! I’m going to restore it from Git:

I’ve been getting this message frequently in Cursor…

Does anyone know a solution?

It moves forward in the project, and many times when testing, it turns out that one or more files have been deleted…

I’m not manually editing anything — I’m just accepting the changes it makes.

The error happens so often that it’s really bothering me…

Steps to Reproduce

I’m just letting it generate the code. It corrupts the file, leaves it empty, and then detects the problem when testing.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

AUTO

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. The team is already investigating similar file corruption when accepting changes in auto mode.

To help narrow it down, please share:

  • What the corruption looks like exactly (empty files, partial deletions, garbled text)
  • Which file types are affected
  • Whether it happens in a new chat or an existing large chat
  • A Request ID with privacy mode disabled Getting a Request ID | Cursor Docs

theyre are always empty. at most of the time are yml files . Im not sure about the size of the chat but but project is big, so the context isnt smal vry often.

Root Cause of the Problem: Empty Controllers
Issue: The controller files for athlete-service and evaluation-service existed but were completely empty, causing 404 errors for all endpoints.
Solution Applied:
:white_check_mark: Implemented AthleteController with 6 REST endpoints
:white_check_mark: Implemented EvaluationTypeController with 6 REST endpoints
:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Rebuilds in progress
After the build completes:

  • Recreate the evaluation-service container

  • Perform final frontend testing to validate both services

Please wait for the build to finish (~10 minutes remaining), and then we can proceed with the final tests! :rocket:

Thanks for the info. Could you share the request ID? You’ll need to turn off privacy mode first.
