Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

El plugin Claude Code no puede lanzar claude-code aunque el comando funciona en Terminal.

Entorno:

  • macOS Apple Silicon
  • IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1
  • Claude Code 2.1.126
  • Node.js v24.10.0

El comando funciona: /opt/homebrew/bin/claude-code --version → 2.1.126

Pero IntelliJ dice: "Cannot launch Claude Code"

Intenté:

  • Instalar con npm
  • Ruta completa en config
  • Abrir IntelliJ desde Terminal
  • Reinstalar plugin

Nada funciona.

What Should Happen?

Panel de Claude debería abrirse

Additional Information

IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1 en macOS Apple Silicon (ARM64).

El comando claude-code funciona perfectamente en Terminal:

  • which claude-code: /opt/homebrew/bin/claude-code
  • claude-code --version: 2.1.126 (Claude Code)

Pero el plugin IntelliJ dice "Cannot launch Claude Code" aunque está configurado con la ruta completa.

Intenté:

  • Instalar con npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  • Instalar con Homebrew
  • Ruta completa en Settings
  • Abrir IntelliJ desde Terminal
  • Reinstalar plugin completamente

Nada funciona. GitHub Copilot funciona correctamente en el mismo IntelliJ.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to the plugin configuration or compatibility with the Apple Silicon architecture, and trying a different installation method or checking the plugin settings could help.

Guidance

  • Verify that the claude-code executable is correctly installed and accessible by checking the output of which claude-code and claude-code --version in the Terminal.
  • Check the IntelliJ IDEA plugin settings to ensure that the correct path to the claude-code executable is provided, and consider trying a different installation method, such as using Homebrew.
  • As GitHub Copilot is working correctly in the same IntelliJ setup, compare the configuration and settings of both plugins to identify any potential differences.
  • Consider reaching out to the plugin developers or checking the plugin's documentation for any known issues or compatibility problems with Apple Silicon architecture.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it's not directly relevant to the issue, but checking the plugin settings and configuration might look like:

IntelliJ Settings → Tools → Claude Code [Beta]

And ensuring the correct path is set:

/opt/homebrew/bin/claude-code

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Claude Code plugin in IntelliJ IDEA on macOS Apple Silicon, and more information about the plugin's compatibility and configuration might be necessary to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try a different installation method, such as using Homebrew, and verify the plugin settings to ensure correct configuration, as the issue might be related to the plugin's compatibility with the Apple Silicon architecture.
