Indexing Codebase Stuck at 0%

[grantbrownow]

Describe the Bug

I have been stuck on Codebase Indexing 0% for over an hour. This is a new project I just dragged into Cursor.

Steps to Reproduce

Dragging in a new project (coded earlier with cursor) into a new project and starting indexing

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

[benbaptist]

I just started having this issue too, and thought I was going crazy or having a bug specific to doing a remote SSH workspace (which always seems to behave a bit quirkier with Cursor).

Just want to comment, I’m seeing this as well.

I’ve changed the HTTP Compatibility Mode from 2.0 to 1.1 and 1.0
via the Cursor Indexing and Retries output it seems it is simply timing out without providing a clear reason as to why. I have also restarted my PC, it was working fine prior to an hour ago.

Same here

[praeteri]

Same here — I am experiencing this issue in an existing project for ~3 hours. Everything had worked about 6 hours ago.

• Tried different Cursor versions
• Tried HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
• Tried deleting the existing index (stuck at 99.3%) and rebuilding

Still not indexing: Progress bar stays at 0% and says “Syncing…”

Hi, dev here. We’re working on rolling back a bad server update that might be causing this. Stay tuned, I’ll let you know when to try again. Sorry for the bad experience.

[mhb]

Same problem, this is a major issue for me. Working without repo context makes cursor unusable on repos over a handful of small files.

See logs below.

There is no git repo set up. there is no .gitignore. I’ve tried deleting .gitconfig, tried creating a report and committing and creating all those files.

Tried going to codebase where I had repos set up.

I’ve tried deleting workspaceStorage.

Tried stopping/restarting/deleting indexing/restarting cursor/restarting system.

It makes me feel much better to see you guys are experiencing it as well LOL. I’m sure they will fix it soon. Have a great day everyone, We all need to go outside anyway!

[mhb]

[red]

I tried using background agents, but indexing isn’t working there either

[strib]

Sorry for the delay, lots of fun things happening on the backend here. But it seems to be recovering now. Might take a little while to stabilize but can anyone confirm it’s working better now?

[praeteri]

I can confirm that the progress bar is moving! Now at 20%, increasing ~10% per minute.

[PabloDeCortes]

Working now, thanks!

[jvlevinson]

im starting to sync, slowly but its working.

[grantbrownow]

Fixed! Indexing works again! Thank you Cursor team
