Hanging in PS commandline

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

Since the last update, my cursor AI keeps hanging at open command line prompts after executing something.

Steps to Reproduce

Impossible to reproduce at 100%. But asking it to make a complex task involving command lines, and watching as one of the tries hangs indefinitely

Expected Behavior

It’s meant to detect that powershell gave back control and continue with the next “thought” or tool call

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

it seems like this happens when the powershell command executes so fast that cursor doesn’t have time to catch it. entering manually in the command line and replaying the last command seems to make cursor aware that it’s finished

Nobody is having the issue besides me ?

Yes, i’m currently using ctrl c or pressing enter or even replaying the previous command but it requires manual intervention which i would like to avoid.

as for the zsh command, i don’t see how it’s related adn some say it was solved in the latest release but it doesn’t seem to be solved on my side

o3 tells me that the issue is introduced by 1.2.1 and that the shell integration is glitchy

it suggests removing the psreadline module but no lucking getting that to work even after the module removed

it also suggests enabling shell integration in the vs code features but this didn’t work also

I think one issue with that is that PSReadLine is actually built-in to PowerShell so it’s hard to remove (need to remove it manually from disk I think).

Are you using any terminal themes like Oh My Posh? That seems to be causing some issues for me but I added

Exiting profile early due to Cursor Agent

if ($env:PAGER -eq ‘head -n 10000 | cat’ -or $env:COMPOSER_NO_INTERACTION -eq ‘1’)
{
    return
}

To my $PROFILE to try and circumvent that issue.
