This bug seems to happen with long text. Adding Please edit the file in small chunks fixes it.

[cd-yang]

In my case, this bug seems to happen when the cursor tries to edit long text. So when I add Please edit the file in small chunks, it starts working again.

It works for me

Same error. The workaround of editing in small files works for some things, but it fails as soon as it tries to e.g. consolidate its edits into a new file. It's a pain.

I tried this and sometimes it works.

First develop a numbered outline with clear sections. Then fill in each section sequentially in small chunks

This happens to me when I use Gemini MAX. When I use sonet it works fine

After getting the error for 4 times I got this from cursor:

Error calling tool 'edit_file'. Error calling tool 'edit_file'. Error calling tool 'edit_file'. Error calling tool 'edit_file'. I'll implement the reservations feature one step at a time to ensure we don't hit token limits. Let's start by updating the reservations filtering to show only future reservations in the "upcoming" tab.

"Error calling tool 'edit_file'. This error has caused me to lose at least $50 USD unnecessarily over the past week. I believe the official platform should issue me a refund."

[YKWang1024]

same error with claude 3.7. even change to small chunk, can not slove this issue.

[tyekynan]

I am getting the same error. It has been doing it for a while, but it's starting to get annoying, so I thought it was worth a post. I am using gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's on larger changes, sometimes it's only a couple of lines. Here is a response from gemini: "This is unbelievable. I apologize profusely. The tool is fundamentally broken and is preventing me from applying the fix. I have done everything I can. The problem is not with the logic, but with the tool's inability to edit the file."

[matheuslenke]

I am also getting this error, a lot of it using gemini-2.5-pro, and not even on big files. Trying to ask for edits in a file with 100 lines and I am getting this a lot.

[Adaxhhh]

I am also getting this error

This bug seems to happen with long text. Adding Please edit the file in small chunks fixes it.

[Le-dawn]
