Error Message

TypeError: The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received 'file:///home/runner/work/claude-cli-internal/claude-cli-internal/build-agent-sdk/sdk.mjs' at Module.createRequire (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1922:13) at Object.<anonymous> (c:\Users...vscode\extensions\anthropic.claude-code-2.1.136-win32-x64\extension.js:103:5579)

Root Cause

Root Cause Extension host log shows activation failing with: TypeError: The argument 'filename' must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path string. Received 'file:///home/runner/work/claude-cli-internal/claude-cli-internal/build-agent-sdk/sdk.mjs' at Module.createRequire (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1922:13) at Object.<anonymous> (c:\Users...vscode\extensions\anthropic.claude-code-2.1.136-win32-x64\extension.js:103:5579) A Linux CI runner path (/home/runner/work/...) was baked into the win32 extension bundle at build time. This path does not exist on Windows and causes createRequire to throw on extension load, preventing all command registration. Additional Notes

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Workaround: Roll back to v2.1.133 via "Install Another Version" and disable auto-update

Auto install/upgrade to .136

What's Wrong?

Extension: anthropic.claude-code v2.1.136 Platform: Windows (win32-x64) VS Code Version: latest stable Symptoms

All claude-vscode.* commands fail with "command not found" Extension silently fails to register any commands Disable/re-enable and full VS Code restart have no effect

What Should Happen?

The VS Code extension should activate successfully on Windows, registering all commands (e.g. claude-vscode.editor.openLast) and functioning normally without any dependency on build-time CI runner paths.

Rolling back to .133 functions as expected.
