Loosing access to my chats daily

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Lately after a cursed update, although not the first time since i use Cursor, i loose access to my chat on a daily basis or each app restart.

It happenned in the past where the only solution was to uninstall cursed completely with a specialized uninstaller and start fresh. Now I’ve done the same, but no matter how often i re-installed cursed it wont save my chat.

The situation is not tolerable as i cannot continue where i left off the following day or during the same day if i’m forced to restart the app for whichever reason.

I paid for theses evolving conversation and more importantly the precious time i have put into theses research with the AI are completely lost, and force me to restart new every day loosing context and huge amount of time.

I’ve read all there is around on the subject and none of the solution already in this community such as using 3rd party addon works. i’ve spent also countless hours trying to debug it myself.

After 6 months and more of this issue (Just counting my experience), i would have thought that a cursed AI team with the help of their “genius” AI would have figured that one. Unless i’m wrong about the team and the AI.

Why is this issue not addressed.

I know i’m going to be told that if my system was low in disk space it might have caused this, but imagine if Microsoft, Apple or any other major developper could simply used this excuse?

I’m not after a try this and that, i’m after Cursed team finding a solution for all of it’s community, because without it’s community Cursed is nothing.

PS. I apologize for the autocorrect

Steps to Reproduce

Use cursed normally, shut it down or wake up with a coffee to realize yesterday’s work is lost.

Expected Behavior

That chat history is actually saved and that this bug be fixed once and for all.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Having the same issue this week, lost several WIP

this shows in console when I try to open any chat history:

logs.txt (8.3 KB)

[composer] Timeout waiting for composer to load and show

I attached the full logs for reference

I discovered that my cursor workspace file included invalid paths - I moved some folders and broke the path from the cursor workspace file

seems like that was some how related to my problem because after I fixed the issue stopped. Will monitor the next days

but the past chats were lost from inside cursor IDE, still same error about composer timeout

What I did to not lost it all was to ask the agent inside cursor to try to recover and it managed to restore checking cache/bkp files from cursor itself (used auto mode). It managed to put into a single text file so I can search and restore part of it which helps

can’t help much more in your case but hope helps some else …

lost everything again today :melting_face:
