# LATEST VERSION OF THIS SCRIPT: https://gist.github.com/swayducky/8ba8f2db156c7f445d562cdc12c0ddb4

#     1) No longer has a hard-coded COMMIT
#     2) Auto-symlinks a "code" script to avoid wslCode.sh breaking

# HOW TO INSTALL:
#   1) Remove "c:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\bin" from Windows Environment Settings
#   2) Modify this script with your Windows <USER_NAME> (NOT your WSL username) in the VSCODE_PATH variable
#   3) Save this script as ~/.local/bin/cursor
#   4) chmod +x ~/.local/bin/cursor

Fantastic! Works a treat, thank you! I was about to give cursor a miss....mainly because env variables in WSL2 weren't being respected when starting from Windows....but it's all better now! THANK YOU!
As for people's comments about the symlink throwing an error....my fix was to just ad an f:

[line 72]
was: ln -s "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/cursor" "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code"
now: ln -sf "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/cursor" "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code"

Awesome stuff ❤️

Created this gist just to make things a bit smoother (and also to automate after every freakin update 🥲):

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/toml01/b413bd736562a5dd6f3d2754ff24facc/raw/7f619d1c0a89637f207d2764f40ab023bdc96075/cursor_fix.sh
chmod +x cursor_fix.sh
./cursor_fix.sh

Or just take this snippet:

#! /bin/bash

wget -O cursor_fix_template https://gist.githubusercontent.com/swayducky/8ba8f2db156c7f445d562cdc12c0ddb4/raw/6c3a3c0be667ed487de5c6fd94fad7a7d8e5d61f/cursor
perl -i -pe 's/<YOUR_USERNAME>/`cmd.exe \/c echo %USERNAME% 2>\/dev\/null | tr -d "\r\n"`/ge' cursor_fix_template
perl -i -pe 's/ln -s "\$MY_CLI_DIR_YO\/cursor" "\$MY_CLI_DIR_YO\/code"/ln -sf "\$MY_CLI_DIR_YO\/cursor" "\$MY_CLI_DIR_YO\/code"/g' cursor_fix_template
mv cursor_fix_template $(which cursor)

A small fix to this: for line 71, the condition [ ! -d "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code" ] is not sufficient to check for the existence of the symlink. This is because -d checks if the path is a directory, not if it is a symlink.
Replace line 71 ~ 73 to:

if [ ! -e "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code" ]; then
    # If the path does not exist (neither a file nor a directory nor a valid symlink)
    ln -s "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/cursor" "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code"
elif [ -L "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code" ] && [ ! -e "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code" ]; then
    # If the path is a symlink but it is broken
    rm "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code"
    ln -s "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/cursor" "$MY_CLI_DIR_YO/code"
fi

Can someone help out on this one? Cus once Cursor is updated using the pop-up the same issues will happen chocolatey-community/chocolatey-package-requests#1576 https://scottspence.com/posts/cursor-setup-for-wsl

Okay made something new (very likely broken) https://gist.github.com/BradKML/b84675c356007c8029ce927c484f4cc6
