👋 Starting a thread /cc @random dune

urban turtle
#

I’m using the free tier agent, maybe an llm hallucination

#

I was on auto mode

shadow halo
#

@urban turtle can you try going explicit ...

open the environment with the source located at <FULL PATH> and list the files

#

just to figure out if it's a PATH problem or a git problem or something

random dune
#

how about tail -n100 /tmp/cu.debug.stderr.log

shadow halo
#

I can try with the same model as you

random dune
#

idk those are correct arguments if the server's cwd is .

#

although al's working test in cursor was using a fully qualified path

shadow halo
#

Oh, I was able to produce the issue @urban turtle !

random dune
#

plz tell me its a cwd thing

weak cloud
#

yeah we wanna know too 👼

shadow halo
#

actually no ... it failed once but then recovered with the full path

#

I downgraded model (I was using claude 4, went with 3.5)

random dune
#

grrrr so yeah, cwd

#

i wonder if claude 4 got trained on failed tool calls lol

shadow halo
#

@urban turtle oh can you tell me how you cloned the repo and started with Cursor?

urban turtle
#

ssh clone from a fresh bitbucket repo

shadow halo
#

From the terminal or from Cursor itself?

urban turtle
#

terminal

#

Btw looked at the cu debug logs, nothing interesting, just the failing git commands and the mention of not being a repo

random dune
shadow halo
random dune
#

that isolates it

Ok so starting from scratch -- I'm cloning a repo, and doing a cursor .

#

and then I run this

#

@urban turtle what model is Cursor using? (bottom section of the chat window)

It was using gpt 4.1 it seems (free tier)

weak cloud
#

Mmh i think i was able to repro -- i dont knwo how (yet)

#

From / indeed

#

@weak cloud on 4.1 as well or something else?

weak cloud
#

Same with gemini -- root is /

#

yeah its the model -- with gemini 2.5 flash its correct

#

gpt 4.1 always bugs

#

of course now it works

random dune
#

can we fix this with MCP tool description prompt engineering?

# 
        mcp.WithString("source",
            mcp.Description("The source directory of the environment."), //  This can be a local folder (e.g. file://) or a URL to a git repository (e.g. https://github.com/user/repo.git, git@github.com:user/repo.git)"),
            mcp.Required(),
        ),
#

"Absolute path to the source git repository for the environment"

#

(i'd test this myself but i'm on a ridiculous branch)

weak cloud
#

so this bugs: open the environment with the source located at . and list the files but this works open the environment with the source of the workspace and list the files

#

models don't seem to have this notion of workspace / root of workspace

shadow halo
#

@weak cloud do you have instructions on how to do that?

weak cloud
#

i started fresh -- reset all my cu state. Then cd into the git folder. then cursor . -- open the chat and type -> open the environment with the source located at . and list the files, in agent mode

#

btw are you on the latest version of cursor ? @shadow halo

shadow halo
#

oh ok, but you intentionally mislead it by forcing it to open ., it didn't do that on its own?

weak cloud
#

yup, but i think the surprise from Tak is the fact that . is not the cwd nor the workspace but /

#

That how i got bitten at it first

shadow halo
#

but need to test if it messes the other agents first

shadow halo
#

@urban turtle this PR seems to fix it (we "ask" the agent to use absolute paths, and cursor seems to take that well)
