Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Cursor produces an error dialog that worktree “Path does not exist” when worktrees are generated for a WSL2 project and you attempt to open a worktree in a new cursor window.
Steps to Reproduce
Given
- Cursor IDE is connected to a WSL2 filesystem workspace / project
- Project is a git repository with worktree support
- You opened a new chat, selected worktree instead of Local and selected multiple models and prompted the agent to make some changes to the project
When:
- Selecting a worktree result
- Clicking the hidden … menu to the right of the worktree branch and model name
- Clicking menu option “Open new window in worktree”
Observed Bug:
Cursor shows an error dialog that the path does not exist and the path in the error dialog is a path with windows path separators starting from home. Effectively it’s trying to open the WSL2 path as if it were a path on the host operating system.
Expected Behavior
Cursor opens a new cursor IDE instance with the WSL2 worktree file path loaded as the workspace path
Operating System
Windows 10/11
