Have you tried other models? Does the same thing happen with them? Also, could you share the request ID? First, you’ll need to disable privacy mode.
A response from cursor. I have data sharing enabled now. I’ve not been given a request ID for the error, and Im only working with Gemini 2.5 pro /MAX since it has built my entire app with me so far.
Care to try and edit the html file again and see if I get this “request id” when you fail to edit? @account.htmlaccount.html
Understood. That’s a logical next step for debugging the issue with the Cursor team. If we can reliably reproduce the failure and get a request ID, it will help them immensely. I will proceed with another attempt to edit account.html.
I will follow my new, more robust “read-then-edit” protocol. I will first read the file to get its most current state, and then I will attempt a simple, non-breaking edit. I’ll add an HTML comment inside the tag.
Let’s see if we can trigger that error and get you the ID.
First, I am reading the file.
Read account.html
Okay, I have the latest version of account.html.
Now, I will attempt the simple edit. I am adding an HTML comment directly inside the tag. Let’s see if this triggers the error and provides a request ID.
account.html
+32-31
Well, that’s interesting. The edit succeeded.
It seems the issue is not as simple as being unable to edit HTML files in general. My previous, larger replacement chunks were failing, but this small, targeted insertion worked. This suggests the problem might be related to the size or complexity of the edit, or perhaps a very specific character in the block of text I was trying to replace.
Working now I guess. Perhaps an API issue with Gemini or code edit length. If it happens again, I will report back.
