Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with the version and screenshot. The Actual command not found, wanted to execute _typescript.didApplyRefactoring error is really clear.

This is a known issue we’re tracking. It affects code actions from extensions in general, not just TypeScript. Users reported the same symptoms for Dart, ESLint, and others. It’s tied to changes in recent stable builds. It started in 3.14.21+, so your 3.15.6 is affected too. This isn’t anything in your setup.

A workaround that helps right now is downgrading to 3.14.7 or below. The issue doesn’t happen there. For TS refactorings like Extract Constant/Function and Move to File, there isn’t an alternative via the command palette, so a downgrade is the most reliable option if these actions are critical for your work.

I can’t share a fix timeline yet, but I’ll reply here once there’s an update. Related thread for context: Flutter "Wrap with" fails: Actual command not found _dart.applySnippetTextEdit

Don’t see a link, here ya go: Cursor · Download and choose the version from below

Edit: Had to edit this post because it seems like I struck a chord to some people.

I have updated to Cursor 3.16. Most of these errors are fixed. However, “Add Missing Imports” code action still has this issue.

Also experiencing this issue with ESLint quick fixes. Oddly enough, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I think it only works if the rule disabling/fixing is a rule built into ESLint.

3.16.17

Hey all,

We are working on fixing up a few lingering pieces of this issue.

Flutter "Wrap with" fails: Actual command not found _dart.applySnippetTextEdit

Thanks everyone,. this is exactly what we needed! The pattern you’re all seeing (the first quick fix after a reload works, later ones fail no matter how you select them) matches across Java, ReSharper, cSpell, and C#, and I’ve passed it to the team. While we work on it, a few reliable workarounds: apply the fix from the right-click context menu or the Command Palette use the Quick Fix link at the bottom of the hover tooltip run “Reload Window” to reset things

Hey @insraq, quick update on the remaining code actions crashes.

The original errors for Extract Constant/Function and Move to File are already fixed in the latest stable version, so if you haven’t updated yet, it’s worth doing that now.

The remaining cases like Add Missing Imports and extension quick fixes that crash after the first run are fixed in Cursor 3.19, so please try again once you’ve updated to that.

Until then, the reliable workarounds are to apply the fix via the right-click menu, Command Palette, or the Quick Fix link in the hover tooltip.

cc @Oliver_Yasuna, the ESLint quick fixes are in the same bucket, so this affects you too.
