Unable to edit files in the virtual workspaces

Support Bug Reports

Hey, this is a known issue with virtual filesystem support in Cursor.

Here’s a similar thread: Cursor Lacks Access to Virtual Filesystem. With the current architecture, this is a technically hard fix. The team is aware, but there’s no timeline yet.

To better understand your case:

  • Which virtual filesystem provider are you using? (Remote SSH extension, Dev Containers, or something else?)
  • Can you share the Request ID when you try to edit? (Chat menu top right > Copy Request ID)

Workaround: For now, please stay on 2.3.21. It’s the only working option for virtual workspaces.

I’ll let the team know this is critical for you. Your report helps us prioritize.
