Describe the Bug

I am unable to use the agent window on a remote container. When I try to, a popup appears and tells me to install the Dev Containers extension and restart. This extension is already installed. If i click on the ‘Install and Restart’ button in the pop up, the agent window does restart but the popup appears again - still unable to connect to the remote.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a workspace on a docker container, using the anyspere dev containers extension. Then, open the agents window.

Expected Behavior

I expect the agents window to be able to connect to the remote container

Operating System

Linux

Hey @whe,
A fix for the Glass agent window dev container install loop is coming in Cursor 3.7 (just around the corner). Please give it another try once you’re on that version and raise a new thread if the issue persists!
