The codebase context is not working.

[mhnikravan-trilogy]

The codebase context is not working for me. I am a Cursor Pro subscriber and this feature seems to be the biggest advantage of Cursor AI to me (vs copilot, etc). So I appreciate your feedback on it.

1) If you can, please include a screenshot of your problem: and the indexing is on and has been done on my code:

Even if I change the include to be something like *.* or *.md still nothing, while I know the information is there:

2) Please include the name of your operating system I am using "Microsoft Windows 11 Home", and running cursor on WSL.

3) If you can, steps to reproduce are super helpful.

• Open Cursor AI, connect it to WSL, make sure the indexing is on
• My codes are in WSL file systems.
• Ask the AI what does it know about my codebase.

On another note: By using the codebase context, is it supposed to use all the indexed codebases (i.e., whatever codebases I have ever indexed) or just the codebase in the current workspace? If it's the first one, how can I change the behavior to focus on the codebase in my current workspace? I work with lots of repositories, and using everything that has been indexed can easily misguide the AI.

The problem is bigger and not only in th codebase that never works as expected.

Even when you point a @folder and ask it to searching for specific code, if you check for context it is using all shorts of files out of this folder.

This is a serius security issue, especially for a project that decided to be closed source.

Have absolutely the same problem here. Before i was able to get the context of the codebase, i was connecting through ssh to my remote server from the windows machine.

I have exactly the same issue. I am also on WSL2. It appears to index the codebase (takes about a minute to get to 100%, it is showing all the filenames while doing it). But when it gets to 100%, a chat @codebase does not give any context (not using @codebase, not using the button). Removing the sync, resyncing - none of it helps.

I figured I'd go through the output to find any error messages. Hopefully they can be of assistance in fixing the issue.

Upon asking chat a question about the codebase, I simply get: Gathering chunks using conversation history (... keeps spinning, shows no output) Reranking chunks (... keeps spinning, shows no output) To provide an accurate response, I need to see the code in question. Could you please share the relevant code snippet?

I am going to cancel my subscription as I do not get the value without being able to use the codebase context.

[jeremykoerber]

Same problem here. Works fine if I copy the repo over to my Windows file system and open it there, but @codebase context is completely broken with a WSL:Ubuntu workspace. It seems to be able to evaluate the file I have focus on, and that's it unless I go through all the other files and do ctrl-shift-L to add them to the chat. Also, the apply button for suggested changes doesn't work like 90% of the time. It just opens a new file tab. Seems like I used to see it work occasionally before, but seems totally broken now. This sucks, and I will totally cancel my pro subscription and warn others about it rather vocally. Cursor folks - please respond.
