Thanks for your reply.
I just started using Antigravity today. I opened a project like using VSCode (agy my-project-folder), and encountered an error while creating the workspace rule. The above is the error message mentioned.

Hello @hawberr_i, thank you for sharing additional details.
Could you please try the following to help us verify the root cause?
1.Ensure that the configuration file (e.g., .cursorrules, .aichat, or the specific config file your workspace uses) is not read-only and that the Antigravity process has write access to the root directory.
2. Open the Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools), go to the Console tab, and attempt to add the rule again. If you see a specific error trace (e.g., EACCES, JSON parse error, or a 403), please share that here.
3. As a workaround, can you manually edit the rule file in the editor to add your instruction? If that works, it confirms the issue is isolated to the UI/Agent interaction layer.
This is the error trace information after opening the developer tools and adding workspace rules:

I manually added files in .agent/rules, but the Agent seems to be unable to read them (@rules: No results).
Thank you for your help.
Hi @hawberr_i, did you try refreshing your Antigravity setup? You could also check out our Gemini App Discord channel for suggestions.
I had the same issue, finally it seems that the last version of antigravity is not working well with projects in folders starting with . (i.e. .gemini or .lumina in my case). I’m on linux by the way.
I have exactly that - ~/.local/ - have a project and I can’t add rules
same problem for me in ~/.config folder. I was trying to create agent rules and agent workflows for my workspace.
I’m also experiencing a similar problem: ConnectError: [unknown] no workspaces found.
Global connection works, but the workspaces don’t.
Have the same error.
My environment: Linux, Antigravity v1.20.5 → I had to down to v.1.19 to use our workflows and rules.
me too
Failed to create rule: ConnectError: [unknown] no workspaces found
Same error here.
In addition, the agent manager is not able to run shell commands using my workspaces because it has issue reading the path. The workaround was to open the folders directly (and not the workspaces), then bash execution works perfectly well.
Error Message returned by Gemini: path is not in a workspace which you have access to: either proceed without accessing that path, or ask the user if they are willing to turn off workspace validation
I also work on Linux and my workspace paths all are defined by default using:
"folders": [
{
"path": "."
}
],
Perms:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 myuser myuser 993 Mar 10 12:14 my-project.code-workspace
I can’t tell when was the last version it used to work, but it used to work.
Same here. On v1.20.5, my old rules are missing from the list. The files are still there and the chat says they’re active, but they don’t seem to be applied in reality.
