Antigravity IDECoding-agent IDE — built around Google's Gemini ecosystem
Auto-update may break project access when the migration hits an existing symlink. Check the config path before updating; the blast radius is narrow but painful.
- Failure happens during the move from
~/.gemini/antigravityto~/.gemini/antigravity-ide; existingmcp_config.jsonsymlink triggersEEXIST. - Reported on macOS
darwin-arm64while updating to2.0.1; the wizard aborts mid-migration and blocks existing project opens. - Practical workaround: inspect or remove the destination symlink before update. The app needs overwrite/unlink handling in its copy step.
