Error Message

Claude in code CLI has suddently lost access to Grep and Glob -- /doctor reports no problems. Error in the harness, perhaps? I also have a transcript from where the error first occurred: When I try to resume that conversation I get an error message:

Glob and Grep are not present. System does have ripgrep installed and Claude can invoke it through Bash

I also have a transcript from where the error first occurred:

When I try to resume that conversation I get an error message:

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by re-enabling or re-configuring Grep and Glob tools in the Claude CLI, potentially by updating the addedNames and addedLines fields in the attachment JSON.

Guidance

  • Review the addedNames and addedLines fields in the provided JSON transcript to ensure Grep and Glob are included.
  • Check the system configuration to verify that ripgrep is properly installed and configured, as Claude can invoke it through Bash.
  • Investigate the error message and transcript from the initial error occurrence to identify potential causes for the tools' disappearance.
  • Consider re-running the /doctor command to re-check for any configuration issues.

Notes

The provided information does not include explicit details on how to re-enable Grep and Glob, so further investigation into the system configuration and Claude CLI documentation may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-check the system configuration and Claude CLI settings to ensure Grep and Glob are properly enabled and configured, as the issue may be related to a misconfiguration rather than a version-specific bug.
