claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Claude Code backend runs "npx ccb oauth usage --json" — resolves to wrong npm package, fails [1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

npm error could not determine executable to run npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2026-04-30T15_14_05_444Z-debug-0.log 17 error could not determine executable to run 5. Error: "could not determine executable to run" JetBrains built-in terminal (IntelliJ/PhpStorm) — but the error originates from the Claude Code GUI plugin itself, not from a terminal session.

TL;DR

The issue can be fixed by updating the Claude Code backend to use the correct executable name, such as claude auth, instead of ccb.

Guidance

• The error occurs because npx resolves ccb to an unrelated third-party package, which has no bin entry, causing a failure on startup.
• To fix this, the Claude Code backend should be updated to use the correct executable name, such as claude auth, instead of ccb.
• The Account section not displaying account details is likely due to the same failed ccb command, and should be resolved once the executable name is corrected.
• The issue can be verified by checking the npm logs and the Claude Code GUI plugin's behavior after updating the executable name.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to the configuration of the Claude Code backend and not a specific code snippet.

Notes

The issue is a regression, and the previous working version is not specified. The fix should be applied to the Claude Code backend, and the correct executable name should be used instead of ccb.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: update the Claude Code backend to use the correct executable name, such as claude auth, instead of ccb, to resolve the issue. This is recommended because the issue is caused by a misconfiguration, and updating the executable name should resolve the issue without requiring an upgrade to a fixed version.
