VSCode plugin doesn't work well with Cursor

[pokrakam]

I'm trying to use the abaplint VSCode plugin with Cursor. It works in principle, but I've noticed issues where it either doesn't read/process references outside the current file scope and/or doesn't take abaplint.jsonc into account.

I haven't been able to reproduce it in a simple example as it always seems to behave in the couple of small examples I tried. But if you clone and open the abapGit repo there are a good number of cases.
Open /src/persist/zcl_abapgit_persist_migrate.clas.locals_imp.abap and abaplint in Cursor wil flag an unused variable that it doesn't under VSCode. It is used by the main class so abaplint cli and VSCode are correct.

I ran into some issue in Cursor as well (a missing error that shows in cli). It looks like the auto-update isn't working correctly in Cursor. Notice that the "Auto-Update" flag is on in VS Code and Cursor but Cursor has an old version.

When you select "Install specific version", Cursor shows only one 5y-old version. VS Code shows all of them.

I tried uninstalling the extension and reinstalling but it brings back only the very old version 0.4.178.

After uninstall, restart, and new install:

Root cause: Cursor gets extensions from here 😉

If you migrated them from VSCode, you might get a new version but then no updates unless they are also published to the Cursor marketplace.

Workaround:

• In VS Code, right-click extension, download as VSIX
• In Cursor, install from VSIX or drag&drop the VSIX file into the extension view

Note: Download count and stars in header do not update, but the version will match VS code 😁
