I’ve successfully installed and logged into Antigravity and can communicate with its AI. However, when I open a folder using Antigravity like I would with VS Code or Cursor, and I’ve also added the folder to my trusted folder list, the AI can’t read my files and prompts me to add the folder to my workspace. I’ve tried various methods, but even after adding it to the workspace, the AI still returns the same message.
How can I resolve this?
Also seeing this issue!
Same problem here, Antigravity can only write to it’s own scratchpad.
Same issue here. Tried Add Folder to Workspace… (which actually is the currently opened folder) but still not work.
are you in google not even testing the product? this is the worst I’ve ever seen in my short life as a developer.
an ai editor that CANT edit files.
this is unvelibable, i though just microsft does this kind of “Modified by moderator”, but certanly google developers have now pushed the “Modified by moderator” bug in code history.
“Modified by moderator”
Facing same problem. Antigravity cannot access workspace
Remove it completely from your system and then do a clean install! This solves a lot of issues!
The most reliable solutions currently available (sorted by success rate):
Use the scratch temporary directory directly (100% success rate, highly recommended).
Copy/move your entire project folder to: C:\Users\Administrator.gemini\antigravity\scratch.
Then open this folder within Antigravity; the agent will immediately recognize it and allow normal reading and writing.
Enable Non-Workspace File Access (works for some users; skip this if it doesn’t work for you).
Settings → Agent → Non-Workspace File Access.Finally, restart Antigravity, and then open the project that AI couldn’t access files before; it should work normally.
I think I’ve finally found a solution. The agent tends to bug out in directories that is not a git repository. So for all of us testing the editor out in a new directory, the agent often can not find the workspace. Run `git init` in the project directory and then open it in Antigravity, and it should work
This was it. git init then reload window (or restart).
This is also happening for me - I tried:
The folder was two levels deep in a project that I opened in antigravity, e.g. ~/workspace/folder1/folder2 and it couldn’t access any of folder1 or folder2. one interesting thing I’ve noticed is that it displays the workspace folder in the chat window when there is a workspace folder but the only solution that worked was copying my project to the playground.
I can’t even download antigravity now on macOS. The app downloads but won’t open because the macOS build is missing all the helper files it needs to run. Nothing wrong on my end. Any suggestions or is anyone else running into this issue?
Same trouble here. I just got downloaded Antigravity today on M1 Mac Pro. It can not even review my codes.
Hi @Y_S, @Thomas_Nguyen, @Pseudo_Wang, and @Sunil_Sagare,
Welcome to the Google AI Forum! Please accept our apologies for the delayed response.
I have tested the Antigravity agent on my end, and it appears to be working as expected. If you are still encountering difficulties, could you please try the troubleshooting steps suggested by other community members earlier in this thread? Sometimes a fresh session or clearing the cache can resolve permission-related sync issues.
@Ernie_Sanchez and @alex_jarvis, to help us investigate the download issues further, could you please share a screenshot of any error messages you are seeing? This will allow us to pinpoint exactly where the process is failing.
worked for me as well. initializing a git repo solved it.
