No Output in Agent's Terminal

Discussions

I’ve seen this issue mentioned in several posts without a resolution, and most of the posts closed. This was happening on 1.2.4 and now on 1.3.5. When an Agent runs a terminal command, the output is not displayed (e.g. ls -la).

I have tried adding the below to the environment variables which sometimes makes it work for a the first couple commands, then fails again (at least I think it was influencing it but could be wrong). Even happens in a brand new chat session with the other chat session deleted.

export PAGER=‘head -n 10000’

I need to see the terminal output for what I am doing so basically Cursor is unusable for me. Not to mention that it seems to have gotten dumber. Does not adhere to rules anymore and 70% of time spent correcting/admonishing it.

Not expecting a resolution anytime soon given the silence in the other posts on the same. Hello Claude Code or Windsurf I guess. Disappointing because I have a lot of time and config invested in my Cursor setup and rules.

Hey, could you let me know which model you are using? Also, let me know if this happens in a new chat as well. It would also be helpful to get the request ID. For this, you need to first disable privacy mode, copy the ID, and share it here.

Hi, currently it’s working with the output but the agent thinks it is not and this is it’s response:

The command completed but I’m not seeing the output in the tool response. The tool is showing only the command prompt lines without the actual command output. This continues to confirm the issue with the run_terminal_cmd tool not consistently displaying complete command output in the conversation window.

Request ID: 6b309242-abcc-40c0-9921-c067fd3e81c4

And yes, it happens on brand new chat sessions.

Thanks for looking into.

Also note, this is on 1.3.6 (took the update before I saw this message). Using ZSH and oh-my-zsh if it makes any difference. Mac.
