openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: [feishu] [agent3] channel exited: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data, and node are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:' [3 comments, 4 participants]

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to an incompatible URL scheme used by the default ESM loader on Windows, and a workaround may involve modifying the URL to use a valid file:// scheme.

Guidance

• Verify that the URL being used is in the correct format for the Windows file system, which should start with file:// for absolute paths.
• Check the OpenClaw documentation for any specific guidance on using the library on Windows systems, as there may be platform-specific configuration options.
• Consider modifying the code to use relative paths instead of absolute paths, which may avoid the issue with the URL scheme.
• If possible, test the application on a different operating system to see if the issue is specific to Windows.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include specific code snippets to modify.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the OpenClaw version 2026.24 and Windows 11, and further investigation may be needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue is likely due to a compatibility problem with the default ESM loader on Windows, and modifying the URL scheme to use file:// may resolve the issue.
