Description

The setting “Allow Cascade to access .gitignore files” does not work. Even when enabled, Cascade cannot access files that are in .gitignore—these are not discoverable or usable in chat via the plugin.

Steps

  1. Enable the toggle in Settings.
  2. Restart IDE or open new Cascade chat.
  3. Try referencing or opening a .gitignored file.
  4. File doesn’t appear or can’t be found.

Expected

Cascade should be able to access and reference ignored files as intended by the setting.

Actual

Ignored files remain inaccessible.

Info

  • Windsurf version: 2.4.0
  • OS: macOS Sequoia
  • Pycharm version PyCharm 2024.1.7 (Professional Edition)
  • Example file path, .gitignore entries.
