No changes made, No content

I’m desperate, I can’t work anymore.
The recurring message I get is:

No changes made
No content
It seems there are issues editing the file using the tool. I’ll try a more targeted approach by analyzing smaller parts of the file.
Since it’s hard to edit the file using the editor tools, I’ll create a completely new implementation of the function.

I’m losing days and money without making any progress.
The file is 2800 lines, 112 KB.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet – max
Long context: yes or no

I’ve uninstalled Cursor and removed all related folders, including history.
The problem keeps happening exactly the same way.

Same Problem. When “No changes made”, cursor can’t apply code, and generate again, that waste my dollar, garbage cursor, Now cursor is worse and worse.

I don’t know if it is of any help to developers.

The main problem is that the file has been saved in Unicode format (UTF-16), whereas it should be in ASCII or UTF-8. Characters with accents such as ‘is’, ‘plus’, ‘already’ have been converted into special character sequences that cause compilation errors.

Here is what you can do:

  1. Open the file in Notepad++ or a similar editor

  2. Select ‘Encoding’ from the menu

  3. Choose “Convert to UTF-8 without BOM”.

  4. Save the file

Alternatively, you can use this command from PowerShell:

text

Apply

Get-Content -Encoding Unicode src\html_server\file_manager_upload.h | Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 src\html_server\file_manager_upload.h

The errors you see are mainly due to the file format, not the content. Once converted to UTF-8, it should compile correctly with the changes we have already made to remove the goto.

Is it possible to ask Cursor for a refund for all failed attempts due to a technical problem?
