Issue with Cursor IDE indexing and subscription clarifications
System and environment:
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Cursor IDE: Latest available version (downloaded from the official website)
- Subscription: Free (considering the Pro subscription, an explanation is required below)
- API Provider: OpenRouter
Description of the problem:
I am currently experiencing significant problems with the indexing functionality of the Cursor codebase. Despite numerous attempts, indexing invariably shows:
Synchronized (0 files)
``
When you click on **"View all included files"** The cursor displays an error message:
Can’t open it 'embeddable_files.txt ’
Unable to allow access to resource c:%5CUsers%5C[username]%5CAppData%5CRoaming%5CCursor%5CUser%5CworkspaceStorage%5C…
``
The path in the error message is encoded incorrectly (slashes are converted to “%5C”), as a result of which the cursor cannot open internal resources.
Steps that have already been tried:
- Completely reinstall the cursor:
- Deleted via the Windows Control Panel.
- Completely deleted the %AppData%\Cursor directory.
- Reinstalled from the official website.
- Cleared the caches and workspace storage manually.
- Checked “.cursorignore” and “.gitignore” (tried to reconfigure and disable “.gitignore”).
- I tried to run the cursor both in administrator mode and in regular user mode.
- Tested with and without GitGraph indexing enabled.
None of these actions solved the problem.
Questions and clarifications are required:
- Is there a problem with the cursor indexing feature in Windows 11?
- Does using the OpenRouter API instead of the standard OpenAI affect cursor indexing?
- ** Important:** Is a Pro subscription required for stable indexing and use of the vector database feature?** Important:** Is a Pro subscription required for stable operation
-Debug is enabled but nothing is shown
We would really appreciate any recommendations or information from the Cursor team or community members!
Thanks!
