Ubuntu git submodules not visible

[vinay-ecosmob (Vinay)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’ve already set values for git.detectSubmodules and git.detectSubmodulesLimit, but in this new version Cursor still doesn’t support submodules.

Steps to Reproduce

Use project with multiple submodules.

Expected Behavior

If project has git submodules then in git changes tab it should display.

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Can you try this and let us know if it works?

Git submodule visibility

I just put these settings back and restarted cursor and saw all of our submodules show up immediately as it used to be, did you restart cursor after changing them? [image]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still wasn’t working. After changing the property git.autoRepositoryDetection from openEditors to true, the submodules are now displayed.
