Open in IDE
When a test fails, you can send the failure context directly to your IDE for AI-assisted debugging. ReSim packages the log summary, relevant log lines, and test identifiers into a prompt and stages it in your IDE's AI chat panel — ready for you to review and submit.
Supported IDEs
| IDE | Requirements |
|---|---|
| VS Code | ReSim VS Code extension v0.1.3+ |
| Cursor | ReSim Cursor extension v0.1.3+ |
Using the feature
- Navigate to a test with an Error status.
- Click the Open in IDE button near the top of the page.
- Select your IDE from the dropdown menu.
- Your IDE will open with a pre-filled prompt in the AI chat panel.
- Review the prompt, then submit it to start investigating the failure.
Note
This prompt is staged as a draft — it won't be sent to the AI assistant until you review and submit it.
Copy Prompt
If you use an AI tool that isn't listed in the dropdown (Claude Code, Codex, etc) - select Copy Prompt from the dropdown instead. This copies the failure context to your clipboard as a ready-to-use prompt that you can paste into any AI assistant.
Troubleshooting
I don't see the "Open in IDE" button
The button only appears on tests in the Error state. This feature is also enabled on a per-organization basis — contact info@resim.ai if you don't see it on failed tests in the Error state.
My IDE didn't open
For VS Code and Cursor, make sure the ReSim extension is installed and active. If the link expires (it's valid for 30 seconds), click Open in IDE again.
