extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by modifying Claude Code to look for bash at the correct path on Windows, specifically C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe.

Guidance

  • Verify the current bash path configuration in Claude Code to understand why it's not checking the correct location on Windows.
  • Consider adding a check for both possible bash paths on Windows to ensure compatibility.
  • Review the code changes made between the last working version and the current version (2.1.90) to identify the regression cause.
  • Test the fix on both Windows and macOS to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context about the Claude Code implementation.

Notes

The issue report lacks specific details about the code changes or the exact error messages, making it challenging to provide a precise fix. Additionally, the report mentions using macOS as the operating system, which seems inconsistent with the problem description focused on Windows.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the Claude Code configuration to check for bash at C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe on Windows, as this is the most direct approach to resolving the reported issue.
