Shell integration displays unwanted directory listing on startup

Bug Reports
1

Every time I open a new terminal in Cursor, I see this output:

drwx-----T@ 6 myuser  staff  192 May 30 12:21 /private/var/folders/93/.../T/myuser-cursor-zsh

Root Cause:
Line 8 in Cursor’s temporary shell integration file contains:

echo "$(ls -ld "$ZDOTDIR")"

This appears to be a debug/diagnostic line that was accidentally left in and should not be visible to users.

Location:

/private/var/folders/.../T/myuser-cursor-zsh/.zshrc:8

Environment:

thank you for the find, I’ve gone into that file, comment the echo line and lock the file up, it seems to work for now

I have the same concern. Also, I wonder if the tmp path is persistent.

Facing the same issue with 1.0 on macOS
For me going into the dir and commenting out the dbg statement in the .zshrc does not work because it get’s updated every time I open a new shell

Using zsh and I was getting the same thing. Restarted my Mac and now it no longer appears on new terminals.
