Works Solution:

Steps to open Cursor and connect to a remote workspace

1. Open Cursor
2. Open a Remote Window
3. Select "Connect Current Window to Host"
4. Choose test-cursor.devpod from the list of available hosts
5. Select the folder where you work

Not is automatically the process; but at the moment is manual.

@supermavster thanks for reporting your issue! Can you please provide your .devcontainer.json?

[bkneis]

@supermavster also just to make sure, you have cursor installed? and in your PATH? i.e. you can launch cursor from the same terminal you use devpod?

This should be fixed as of 0.5.22
