During the ‘chat’, the change that cursor suggested will not be applied after I click the triangle (:play_button:).

how to produce

  • In whatever way, start a very simple basic vite-react project.
  • ask cursor to rename the function App to App2.

actual: no change has been made

expected: change should be made.

extra info

I have tried difference model such as gpt or claude, none of them works.

The same issue on Linux.

Hey, do you know if this was working as expected on v0.46 before v0.46.9?

I’ve passed this to the team to look into!

Yes, it worked. I briefly used release 0.46 before 0.46.9, and I don’t recall encountering this issue.

Same

0.46.8 and before did not have this problem, I have the same problem and I have not found a solution since yesterday. I uninstall the application and reinstall 0.46.8, but after a few minutes it updates again and does not give me the opportunity to process any code or file. It cancels all operations automatically.

Same issue on Windows. Apply doesn’t work across Chat or Agent. It was working before 0.46.9

Hi, do you have a .cursorignore file?

Does that .cursorignore match the file you’re trying to apply that’s not applying?

Here to report the same bug. Was working a few days ago - was on 0.46.6 i think? Now with update, 0.46.9 nothing seems to be able to apply.
“It seems there might be an issue with the reapply tool. Let me try editing the file again with a different approach:”

[edit] can confirm - went back to 0.46.6 and its working again

I’m experiencing similar issue on Windows. It was working until the latest updater. Since the changes don’t apply, the agent keeps retrying different methods until I stop it manually.

For me Cursor is unable to apply changes to yml files in the .github folder.

Hi, we have some 0.46.10 patch builds rolling out now:

Download Links:

macOS:
Intel DMG
Apple Silicon DMG
Universal DMG

Windows:
Windows x64 Setup
Windows ARM64 Setup

Linux:
Linux ARM64 AppImage
Linux x64 AppImage

This should resolve chat/apply not working in . prefixed folders, can you let me know if this fixes the issue for you?

Same as "No changes made" - #16 by malteristo - I do not have a dot in my folder name but I still have this issue

Can you check if the build above works for you? It has a couple other small fixes that might fix the apply issue.

Tested now. Still an issue in

Just tried asking for a change and it was unable to apply, like it has been for the last couple of days :confused:

Completely unusable in agent mode the last few days


What’s the full path to the next.config.mjs file? Also, do you have a .cursorignore file?

Is the file opened up as part of the current workspace, or is the file external to the current workspace?

I did have a .cursorignore file, but I removed it and tested again, to no avail.

Full path: /Users/kennethlynne/Documents/GitHub/panoptiq-monorepo/apps/studio/front-end/web/next.config.mjs

It is part of the workspace of the monorepo I’m working in

I’ve reported a couple of times with request id if that helps. Here’s another recent one: cf7a3712-d5c2-40be-8959-96c12e434c47
