claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Background tasks (Agent/Bash) remain "Running" in Tasks panel after completion [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The Tasks panel in the Claude Code Desktop App may not be updating correctly due to an issue with background agents or Bash commands not being properly marked as completed.

Guidance

• Verify that the completion notifications for the background agents are being received and processed correctly, as this could be a key factor in the tasks not being marked as completed.
• Check the code that handles the state transition of tasks in the Tasks panel to ensure it is correctly updating the state when a task is completed.
• Investigate if there are any issues with the communication between the background agents and the Tasks panel that could be preventing the tasks from being marked as completed.
• Consider adding logging or debugging statements to the code to help identify where the issue is occurring and why the tasks are not being marked as completed.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the codebase, but adding logging statements to the completion notification handling code could look something like this:

def handle_completion_notification(notification):
    # Log the receipt of the completion notification
    print("Received completion notification for task {}".format(notification.task_id))
    # Update the task state in the Tasks panel
    update_task_state(notification.task_id, "completed")

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Opus model or the Windows 11 Pro environment, and further investigation would be needed to determine the root cause. Additionally, the fact that the "완료됨" section correctly shows the parent Agent tasks, but not the child Bash commands, suggests that the issue may be related to how the tasks are being created or updated.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as manually dismissing the tasks or adding a timer to automatically dismiss tasks after a certain period of time, until the root cause of the issue can be determined and fixed. This will at least allow the Tasks panel to be cleared of completed tasks, even if the underlying issue is not resolved.
