Step 1: Collect Windsurf Configuration State
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
BUNDLE="windsurf-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE"/{config,logs,workspace}
echo "=== Windsurf Debug Bundle ===" > "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
# 1. Windsurf version and environment
echo "--- Environment ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
windsurf --version >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt" 2>&1 || echo "windsurf CLI not found" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
node --version >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt" 2>&1
echo "OS: $(uname -srm)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
# 2. Codeium config (redacted)
echo "--- Codeium Config ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
ls -la ~/.codeium/ >> "$BUNDLE/config/codeium-dir.txt" 2>&1 || echo "No ~/.codeium/" >> "$BUNDLE/config/codeium-dir.txt"
# 3. MCP server config (redacted)
if [ -f ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json ]; then
sed 's/"[A-Za-z0-9_-]\{20,\}"/"***REDACTED***"/g' ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json > "$BUNDLE/config/mcp-config-redacted.json"
fi
# 4. Workspace config
cp .windsurfrules "$BUNDLE/workspace/" 2>/dev/null || true
cp .codeiumignore "$BUNDLE/workspace/" 2>/dev/null || true
ls -la .windsurf/ >> "$BUNDLE/workspace/windsurf-dir.txt" 2>/dev/null || true
ls -la .windsurf/rules/ >> "$BUNDLE/workspace/rules-dir.txt" 2>/dev/null || true
# 5. Extension list
windsurf --list-extensions > "$BUNDLE/config/extensions.txt" 2>/dev/null || echo "Cannot list extensions" > "$BUNDLE/config/extensions.txt"
Step 2: Collect Logs # Windsurf logs location varies by OS:
# macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/logs/
# Linux: ~/.config/Windsurf/logs/
# Windows: %APPDATA%/Windsurf/logs/
LOG_DIR="${HOME}/.config/Windsurf/logs"
[ -d "$LOG_DIR" ] || LOG_DIR="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/logs"
if [ -d "$LOG_DIR" ]; then
# Copy last 1000 lines of each log (redacted)
for log in "$LOG_DIR"/*.log; do
tail -1000 "$log" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/Bearer [^ ]*/Bearer ***REDACTED***/g' > "$BUNDLE/logs/$(basename "$log")"
done
fi
# Codeium-specific logs
if [ -d ~/.codeium/windsurf/logs ]; then
cp ~/.codeium/windsurf/logs/*.log "$BUNDLE/logs/" 2>/dev/null || true
fi
Step 3: Check Workspace Health # Workspace analysis
echo "--- Workspace Health ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "File count: $(find . -type f -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -not -path '*/.git/*' | wc -l)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"

echo "Has .codeiumignore: $([ -f .codeiumignore ] && echo 'YES' || echo 'NO')" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Has .windsurf/rules/: $([ -d .windsurf/rules ] && echo 'YES' || echo 'NO')" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
# Check for common issues
if [ ! -f .codeiumignore ] && [ -d node_modules ]; then
echo "WARNING: No .codeiumignore but node_modules exists -- indexing will be slow" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
fi
Step 4: Package and Submit tar -czf "$BUNDLE.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE"
echo "Debug bundle created: $BUNDLE.tar.gz"
echo "Review for sensitive data before submitting to support."
