Passing a doc as context doesn't make it go through it

Bug Reports

Describe the Bug

Every time I create a chat and pass a doc as context, telling it to proceed and search for something, it doesn’t do that. Instead, it tries to search in other ways, including web searching, which I disabled to see if I could force it to read the already indexed doc. The response shown in the screenshot translates to it basically saying there is no version checking which is false and it didn’t go through the doc.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a chat, pass a doc as context, tell it to search for something in it

Expected Behavior

It is supposed to search through the indexed doc to try and create a response

Hi @AngelloFD

Thank you for the bug report. V1.2 is a pre-release version and Cursor is collecting the bug reports for improvements before public release.

You can find the general thread here,

Hey, that’s quite strange. Cursor ignores only this specific documentation, while it uses others as expected. I’ll try to figure this out, thanks.

It used to be able to go through both of these without a problem, but suddenly, they couldn’t. That’s why I am also quite confused. Thank you for still looking into the problem!

Hi @AngelloFD, would you be able to share the link to the doc that cannot be read?

Sure! These are the troublemakers:
