Thanks for your guidance — I followed steps 1–4 exactly, and the issue is now gone. Debug mode is working without errors.
After restoring ~/.cursor.bak/extensions/ and restarting Cursor, a few extension-related errors appeared:
-
Unable to connect to Pinegrow at http://localhost:40001/editor
-
No Beads projects found in the workspace. Initialize a project with
bd initto get started. -
In order to use Anysphere Remote SSH,
ms-vscode-remote.remote-sshmust be uninstalled
Both Beads and Pinegrow were extensions I thought I had disabled weeks or even months ago. In fact, several other extensions were enabled that I’m quite sure I had disabled a long time ago.
Anyway, it seems likely that one of these extensions (or their state) interfered with Cursor’s debug mode. In any case, everything is working now.
Thanks again for your help!
