claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] /config command causes terminal to freeze/hang when invoked a second time consecutively (v2.1.104) [1 comments, 2 participants]

This only occurs on the second (or subsequent) invocation of /config. The first call works normally. There is no error message, no timeout, and no way to

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by investigating and fixing the resource leak or synchronization issue that occurs when the /config command is invoked multiple times in the same session.

Guidance

• Investigate the code handling the /config command for potential resource leaks or synchronization issues that could cause the terminal to become unresponsive after multiple invocations.
• Verify if the issue is specific to the Terminal.app on macOS or if it occurs on other terminals and platforms as well.
• Check for any differences in the system state or configuration between the first and subsequent invocations of the /config command that could contribute to the issue.
• Consider adding logging or debugging statements to the code to gather more information about the system state and the sequence of events leading up to the freeze.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more information about the internal implementation of the /config command.

Notes

The issue may be related to the specific implementation of the /config command or the underlying Anthropic API, and more information about the code and the system configuration may be needed to provide a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action would be to apply a workaround, such as limiting the number of times the /config command can be invoked in a single session or implementing a restart mechanism to recover from the freeze, until the root cause of the issue can be identified and fixed.
