Does your cursor setup match your vscode setup ? What is the error

Could you share the ESP-IDF: Doctor Command output for both as described in https://docs.espressif.com/projects/vscode-esp-idf-extension/en/latest/troubleshooting.html ?

If you delete the build directory in cursor and try to build again, does it work ? Maybe there is a cache information from each environment that is conflicting with each other.
