Terminal output not accessible

Hey, this is a known issue with terminal output capture in Agent mode.

To troubleshoot, I’ll need a bit more info:

  • What OS are you on (Windows/macOS/Linux)?
  • What Cursor version (Menu > About Cursor)?
  • Are you using the Legacy Terminal Tool or the normal one? (Cursor Settings > Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal)

In the meantime, try one of these:

Quick (no history loss):

  1. Start a new Agent chat. Sometimes terminal output comes back
  2. Enable Legacy Terminal Tool: Cursor Settings CMD+Shift+J > Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal > “Legacy Terminal Tool” > restart Cursor

More drastic (more reliable, but wipes chat history):
Delete the workspaceStorage folder. Details here: [SOLVED] Terminal Output Not Showing in Agent Mode - Delete workspaceStorage Folder (v2.1.39, Windows 11)

The team is aware of the bug, but there’s no universal fix yet. Let me know your OS and whether the workaround helped.
