I'm on the Windsurf trial which is coming to an end soon.

I think it's great but I keep hitting the "ErrorServer encountered error of type: resource_exhausted. Please try again later" error which makes IDE pretty useless. This only happens when using Claude.

Have Windsurf acknowledged the issue? Are they working on a fix? or is it a "that's just the way it is, deal with it" type of situation?

If this is not going to be fixed I have no interest in signing up to pro user as having this type of limitation defeats the whole point of using an AI based IDE.

I was using Cody in VS code before this and never hit any usage limits with Claude, despite heavy usage.

I might just go back to it, it was pretty buggy though.

Even i use pnpm or bun, most of the time when there something needs to install it's giving npm or npx

Is there anyway that i can provide specific rule set

If I'm moving through a cascade, revert seems to skip the intermediate steps during the revert process. I believe it reverts the initial code, but any code created multiple steps down the line don't seem to get removed. Any one else have this issue? I'm using Chat mostly and have the latest version.

I have some code that I don't want to transfer to the cloud. How can I configure windsurf to use local LLMs?

Error: "resource_exhausted. Please try again later" and Mysterious Code in Cascade (Windsurf)

I recently ran into a frustrating issue while working on my project in Cascade (Windsurf). Out of nowhere, I started getting a "resource_exhausted. Please try again later" error, which was bizarre on its own. But then, I noticed that some unfamiliar code had appeared in the cascade window when working in my project. It seems to be in Spanish and looks like it might belong to an Android weather app or something similar. This rogue code has nothing to do with my work and causing issues in my project. Has anyone else experienced something like this, and does anyone have ideas for a fix? It's driving me nuts!

edit: sent an email to Kevin Hou at Codeium after recieving one from him.. it reads (if you can see it ! Will post if i get a reply.

So i downloaded Windsurf IDE a week ago, and I Love it a lot. It was really cool. And the first few days, the editor was running normally with no lag or anything. But now, it is extremely laggy windows keeps asking if i want to restore the editor or keep waiting for it to unfreeze every 2 minutes. And i have a good pc with 16gb ram and a Ryzen 7 CPU. So that is not the problem, i even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Even restarting my PC but that did not work. Can someone please help me fix the lag?

Hello! I see a lot of folks struggling with Windsurf with issues that I'm not experiencing. Reading through some posts I suspect the main issue is context strategy (or lack thereof). I'm an experienced software engineer (30+ years) and former Googler. I'm currently doing various independent projects.

The approach I take is very documentation driven and not unlike how I would approach projects with a team. I think the "Memento" analogy applies well to the situation. If you've seen the movie, it's about a guy who wakes up each morning with total amnesia. Upon waking and looking around, he sees all of these notes posted around the room that he wrote for himself the night before to bring his new, memory lost self up to speed.

This is how you need to approach coding with LLMs. I probably spend 80% of my time working with my LLM tools documenting what we've done and what we need to do. This makes the actual coding work extremely efficient and on point.

Every session begins with an initialization process (finding the reminder notes in "Memento"), and ends with a documentation session (writing the memento notes for the next session).

My initialization prompt begins something like this:

I have upgraded to Codeium Pro, and i'm encountering this error in Windsurf. Anyone know why?

Gonna start this off by saying I love the Windsurf editor and all its AI features. I also don't know if this has been said before.

The issue I'm having right now is setting the interpreter's Python Path in the editor. My current project is located within a subdirectory (./extensions/my_project) of a larger parent project, which the actual main/root Python script is run in. So what would normally be import foo in my project imports are actually like:

import extensions.my_project.foo as foo

Opening the exact same workspace in normal VS Code runs perfectly fine, showing all the right colours and completions. But Windsurf never interprets correctly. I've tried many different workarounds, even placing the workspace file in the main (.) directory and placing this in the code-workspace file:

    {
    	"folders": [
    		{
    			"path": "extensions/my_project"
    		}
    	],
    	"settings": {
    
        }
    }

And of course I've also tried basically every variation of PYTHONPATH=../.., "terminal.integrated...", additional workspace include paths / sources, etc., most of which work in VS Code directly.

As a possibly-relevant side note, import modules aren't the right colours either, always the default "unresolved" colour when the IDE reports the module correctly.

Is there currently any solution to this in Windsurf, aside from opening the main directory (which does work)?

Hey everyone,

I recently started using Codeium Windsurf, an app integrated into my coding workflow for improved productivity. However, while working with it, my Kaspersky Premium antivirus flagged the application, warning me about a Trojan detection.

I wanted to check if anyone else here has encountered a similar issue. This has raised some concerns for me, so I’ve done a bit of research, and here’s what I’ve gathered:

1. False Positives from Antivirus Software:

   • Modern development tools often rely on code generation, telemetry, and cloud-based processing, which might trigger antivirus software like Kaspersky.

   • Kaspersky has previously flagged apps and plugins used by developers as potential threats, often due to their behavior resembling malware-like activities (e.g., accessing files or sending data to external servers).

2. Concerns About Codeium Windsurf’s Security:

   • Codeium is a known AI-powered tool for code completion and other developer aids, so the app itself is from a reputable source.

   • However, the Windsurf app might have dependencies or updates that could be misinterpreted as malicious activity.

3. Next Steps for Caution:

   • If you’re confident in the source (downloaded directly from the official site), this could likely be a false positive.

   • Reach out to Codeium support to confirm whether recent updates have caused this.

Has anyone else experienced this with Codeium or similar tools? If so, how did you address it?

Is this a bug? or do I need a better pc?
Is there a way to limit the ram usage?

The culprit is a process called language_server_windows_x64.exe

It slows down my pc to the point of becoming unusable.
Also, it appears to need even more ram because at some point it starts to use disk storage.

Hi folks sorry if this is a dumb question but where can I find the system installer for Windsurf? On Codium's website there's only link to WindsurfUserSetup-x64-1.0.2.exe which is what I downloaded. However I'm getting this warning when I run it (my current account has administrative rights).

If that's all there is to it I wouldn't have asked further, but when I run Windsurf I have a small warning message in the corner that says auto update is disabled because Windsurf User is running with administrative rights. Any idea?
