No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

You have two C++ extensions installed simultaneously - anysphere.cpptools and llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd. They are conflicting.

Try removing llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd and restart Cursor.

If that doesn’t help, the extension needs a compile_commands.json file in the project root.

Let me know if this helps.

after removing, still facing same issue.

there is no file name with compile_commands.json in root, also in VS code with same project folder its working fine without this file

I have the same issue - Angular project. Works fine in Antigravity and vsCode.

Found the culprit! In my case, I exported the Angular Language from vsCode (v: 21.0.0) and installed it in Cursor. Fixed the issue.
