Intellisense infinite loading when using Cursor (Typescript)


When using Typescript in Cursor, Intellisense just does not work for me. I tried restarting, reloading, uninstalling and installing again, upgrade to the latest versions.. Nothing works and it’s making working with Cursor impossible. See image above. It just continues to load forever, and it doesn’t matter which file I’m using it on, or which function/variable i’m trying to inspect. Anyone had any experience with this?

Cursor version: 0.48.9, VSCode version: 1.96.2, TS version: 5.7.2

Experiencing exactly the same problem with cursor, both using Windows and MacOS.

Version 0.48.9

Started happening about 2-3 days ago and it´s terrible for me.

Hey, this might be related to Cursor incorrectly detecting the TypeScript version for your workspace. Try setting it manually. Also, other users have noticed that the issue might be related to the GitHub Copilot extension.

Same problem, getting infinite “Loading …” on any intellisense.

Using latest Cursor. Have tried all of the suggestions and nothing works. Basically TS is unusable at this point.

This probably doesn’t apply to all these instances of the issue, but for me I found that the Vue extension was killing the built-in typescript (like it should to take over for it as the TS language server), but then all my typescript files weren’t being provided language features by the extension so I was left with infinite loading and then nothing since there was to active TS language services covering the file.
It still loads fine in VS Code with the same settings and extensions, so there’s still something going on with cursor, but now I can use Cursor again as long as I turn off the Vue extension :person_facepalming:
