Dashboard stats not recorded when using "Open Workspace from File" (.code-workspace)

[arcanashi (石 文浩)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Usage statistics (accepted lines, Tab completions, etc.) are not recorded in the dashboard when a project is opened via “Open Workspace from File” (.code-workspace). Switching to “Open Folder” for the same project resolves the issue — stats are tracked normally.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a project using “Open Workspace from File” with a .code-workspace file
Use Cursor as normal (Tab completions, AI edits, etc.)
Check the dashboard — no usage data is recorded
Open the same root folder using “Open Folder” instead
Use Cursor again
Check the dashboard — usage data now appears correctly

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report.

Could you clarify a couple of things? Specifically:

• Which exact dashboard metrics are you seeing as missing when using .code-workspace mode? For example, “Tabs Accepted”, “Lines of Agent Edits”, model requests, etc.
• Could you share screenshots of your dashboard, one from a session where you used .code-workspace and one from a session with “Open Folder”, so we can compare?

Also, you mention Cursor Tab completions as one of the affected features. When working in .code-workspace mode, do you actively use Tab completions, and do you see suggestions appearing? Or is the issue mainly that Agent or Composer edits are not showing up?

This will help us narrow down whether it’s a client-side tracking issue specific to multi-root workspaces, or something on the dashboard display side.

1. The missing metric is “Lines of Agent Edits” — it’s not showing up in both the Analytics and Overview sections of the dashboard.

2. I don’t actively use Tab completions, and this report is unrelated to that feature.

3. I have screenshots, but I’m not sure they’re informative enough — happy to share them if they’d help. As shown in the screenshot, the IDE records 2812 lines, but the edits I made within the workspace session are not included in that count.

   
   

4. One additional clue: in the “All Repositories” dropdown, I can only see projects opened via “Open Folder” — projects opened via “Open Workspace from File” do not appear there. I’ll skip the screenshot for this part as it contains internal company information.
