Cursor IDE Bitbucket git auth problems

[csibe17]

Hi,

We have a working workspace template with VSCode and we are using Bitbucket authentication.
Now we installed Cursor as an additional choice of IDE for developers.

module "cursor" {
  count        = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
  source       = "registry.coder.com/modules/cursor/coder"
  version      = "1.0.27"
  agent_id     = coder_agent.main.id
  folder       = "/home/${local.username}/dayrize-cloud"
  order        = 2
}

With regular VSCode we don't have any issue with git commands' authentication.

With Cursor we have issues from the beginning, because upon any git command it prompts for username/password. I could almost solve it by adding the following config at workspace startup.

git config --global credential.helper store

It works in a way that I use either the web terminal or open VSCode and do a git pull. That saves the credential to the file system, then Cursor can use it and it works. But unfortunately, after a while (don't know the exact times, but several hours) the .git-credentials file gets emptied out, so Cursor git commands are failing again (prompting for user/pass). If I do the same process again (run a git command in web terminal or VSCode), it populates the credential store and git in Cursor can be used again without a problem, until it stops working.

Does anyone experienced this behavior?
Any ideas how to solve it?

Thanks,
Gabor

@code-asher @bcpeinhardt any ideas what could be going here?

I'm not sure. It is strange it happens specifically with cursor. I'll take a look!

Hi @csibe17, this could be related to coder/coder#16649.

Thanks @matifali,
As a temp solution, I have added it to our own settings.json and it solved the problem.
