Describe the Bug

My Cursor keeps getting stuck when creating files, such as requirements.txt. Even after switching to different models. Although it displays the content of the file it’s supposed to generate, the creation process still gets stuck and does not complete.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor.
  2. Ask it to create pyhon project with Docker.
  3. It doesn’t create any file, just show file content.

Operating System

MacOS

Version: 2.4.23

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, you’re on version 2.4.23, which is pretty outdated. There have been several fixes for agent file creation and writing issues since then.

First step, update to the latest version: Help > Check for Updates.

If the issue still happens after updating, a few things that would help us debug:

  1. Which model are you using when this happens?
  2. A Request ID from a stuck session (top-right menu in chat > Copy Request ID)
  3. Does it happen with every new project, or only specific ones?

Let me know how it goes after the update.

It works now. Thanks.
