Python "Move Symbol to ..." refactoring removed in a recent update

[Wassim_Moussawi]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After installing a recent update where I was asked to install Cursor Python Extension Cursor the refactoring options were removed. I noticed other python features disappearing as well such as accessing functions and fields from patching path string provided to mocking utilites such as mocker.patch in pytest.

Steps to Reproduce

Try the refactor option on some class or function it would say “No code actions available” instead of giving the Move Symbol to ... and Move Symbol to new file options.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Anyone who does professional coding, not just the typical “data science” scripting, needs powerful refactoring tools for building new systems. Cursor’s refactoring capabilities are especially important given Python’s shortcomings when it comes to developing larger systems. While this broken refactoring feature doesn’t prevent me from using Cursor’s other strengths, it is frustrating enough that I am seriously considering alternative options.
