The pain of use is still better than giving up 3.7 thinking when opening up on a new segment of the backlog or 3.7 when linting… three days ago these did not exist and today I cannot code without them. I would just quit for a day if they went down and go enjoy my kid.

@danperks this is pretty frustrating to to have any viz on. When I crash I loose the last 90 seconds or so of chat context (file changes are kept) and on 3.7 thinking I eat a sizable number of thinking tokens that aren’t exactly given back by Cursor.

The software isn’t unusable but it’s a major productivity hit to know every 5-20 minutes I’m going to get a crash code 5 with an apology…

Okay easy fix. It’s just a corrupted workspace.
@bitcoinvsalts @jleni @Charl-mol

You have two options in the terminal

  1. Nuke it from orbit
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage

  2. Drop just your project workspace profile

cd /path/to/your/project
rm -rf .vscode

Either way, next time you open your project, the crashes will be gone.

Ah, brilliant! Thank you so much! It seems to have solved the problem! I chose option 1, and my Cursor is back to normal again :sunny:

Yeah i’m up hacking at code at 3am now because I’m so happy to be running full speed again.

BTW - the ChatGPT 4.5 agent is also pretty legit. Different vibe but it’s a solid compliment to Claude 3.7

You can dive in now that you’r running again!

Wow - time to go to bed - lol. I have not tried GTP4.5 - will have a look. I tried claude-3.7, but my initial experience was not good - it broke a whole lot of working code. But - I will give it a go again. Thanks again for your help!
