Cursor local logs?

General

Hi all,

May I know whether cursor has logs stored locally?

GitHub Copilot’s logs are with the IDE (e.g., X:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Code\logs<TIMESTAMP>\window1\exthost\output_logging_<NUM>-GitHub Copilot.log), but since Cursor has its own IDE, I’m not sure whether it’s the same case.

Hi @Spencer ,

Here is some information I keep for quick reference in regard to viewing errors and logs.

Open developer tools via:

Cursor > Help > Toggle Developer Tools

and then click Console and see if there are any related errors.

On Windows, you can also find logs here:

C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\logs

This is the parent folder of the folder that is opened when doing:

  • Ctrl + Shift + P (to open command palette in Cursor)

  • Typing and selecting Developer: Open Logs Folder

I have also found this morning that you can view logs in:

Cursor > Terminal > Window

or:

Cursor > Terminal > Cursor Indexing and Retrieval

etc…

@litecode Thank you!

Following similar way, I found the logs for MacOS as well:

/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Cursor/logs
