Fresh Cursor install, Remote SSH not working

Discussion
1

For anyone else running into this issue; I posted several days ago, got radio silence, despite pre-paying for an annual subscription.

On a fresh install:

2024-09-12 11:32:58.681 [error] Missing 'tunnelApplicationConfig' or 'tunnelApplicationName' in product.json. Remote tunneling is not available.
2024-09-12 11:33:11.662 [error] Missing 'tunnelApplicationConfig' or 'tunnelApplicationName' in product.json. Remote tunneling is not available.
2024-09-12 11:33:45.235 [info] Log level changed to debug

Then:

  • Install VS Code Remote - SSH ← key step, w/o this trying to Open a Remote Window hangs on extension installation
  • Click on >< icon in extreme lower left
  • Select a remote host
  • You’ll be able to ssh in!

I was able to figure this out through Ctrl-P-CMD, “Set Log Level,” pick debug, then pick Remote Tunnel Service or any other services that seem related to this issue.

This worked for me! Thanks so much for sharing. I literally was spending too much time on this.

This is the exact SSH extension I installed: Remote - SSH v0.112.0

hey just FYI you can also hit this issue if you’re out of space on your target machine. I got the tunnelApplicationConfig message, but only when trying regular vscode did it show the “out of space” message. try “docker system prune --all --force”

Hi! I’m having the same error that you had, but following your steps didn’t work for me.
I have Remote - SSH installed, but the window with my SSH hosts does not show up. If I choose any Remote - SSH command from the command palette I get an error saying command 'opensshremotes.openEmptyWindow' not found and I still get the Missing 'tunnelApplicationConfig' or 'tunnelApplicationName' in product.json error.
Any clue on how to fix? It’s working right in VSCode.

Thanks!

Hey, this seems like a corrupted installation or something weird!

Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling Cursor using the download on the website?
