How to debug a VS Code extension using CursorAI

Support Help
1

When I debug a VS Code extension using CurosrAI IDE, the commands defined in my package.json are not shown in the new CursorAI Instance, and I get this in the DEBUG CONSOLE:

activating cursor retrieval extension isDev: false

I tried using vanilla VS Code to debug the exact same extension and it works just fine, but it doesn’t seem to work on CurosrAI.

In VSCode:
The default Hello World command appears.

In CursorAI:
There’s no Hello World command (No matching commands).

I have had the same issue.
Check out what vscode version cursor is using from the about menu
mine uses 1.93.1 while the hello world example auto-generated defaulted to 1.96.0
The solution was to downgrade the following in package.json and npm install again

...
  "engines": {
    "vscode": "^1.93.0"
  },
...
"devDependencies": {
    "@types/vscode": "^1.93.0",
...

I’m having the same problem, but this does not solve it. I’m using engine (+ typings) v1.100.0, my cursor is using 1.105.1. So newer, which should be fine, as the engine specified in the extension is the “minimum” version. I tested it with vscode 1.106.0 and the extension works!
Any tips? (The extension does not even try to activate, I have a log on activation, cursor does not even try :frowning: )
