claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Claude Code opens a new editor window and changes focus, instead of staying in the chat window. [1 comments, 2 participants]

Console error logged at the time of the switch:

Uncaught Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUrl') TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUrl') at Iv.toUri (index.js:22) at Iv.asBrowserUri (index.js:22) at iP.$loadForeignModule (index.js:36)

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by reverting to the previous version of Claude Code (2.1.98) where the focus stayed in the Claude Code panel after approving an edit.

Guidance

• The error message Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toUrl') suggests a potential issue with the toUri function in index.js, which may be related to the focus switch.
• To verify the issue, follow the provided steps to reproduce and check if the focus switches to the code editor after approving a file edit.
• Reverting to version 2.1.98 may resolve the issue, as it is reported to have worked correctly in the past.
• If reverting is not feasible, further investigation into the toUri function and its usage in the Claude Code extension may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Notes

The provided information suggests a regression in the Claude Code extension, and reverting to a previous version may be the most straightforward solution. However, this may not be a long-term fix, and further investigation may be necessary to resolve the underlying issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to version 2.1.98, as it is known to work correctly and the current version (2.1.100) introduces the focus switch issue.
