Cursor issues with monorepo and code-workspace

Bug Reports

It’s been really hard for me to tell Cursor how to create files in my monorepo.

I’m using turborepo, pnpm workspaces, and vscode workspaces to have a clean organisation of my monorepo.

My code-workspace looks like this:

{
  "folders": [
    {
      "name": "🏠 root",
      "path": "."
    },
    {
      "name": "🟠 serverless",
      "path": "apps/serverless"
    },
    {
      "name": "🔵 web",
      "path": "apps/web"
    }
  ],
  "settings": {}
}

When I tell Cursor to create or edit files, it somehows think it should bypass my apps folder. It creates for example a new serverless at the root level and start doing its business here.

I’ve setup .mdc files that yells at Cursor not to create files there, I’ve made a .cursorignore that ignores the folders it creates hoping it would guess that’s not what it should do, but I cannot make it work as I want to.

Is there something else I should do ?
