claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Cowork: artifacts folder hardcoded to Documents path, ignores selected project folder [1 comments, 2 participants]

RPC error: failed to mount /mnt/.virtiofs-root/shared/Users/john.wilkes/Documents/Claude/Artifacts/cpe-amplitude-issues-tracker as .artifacts/cpe-amplitude-issues-tracker: source path does not exist and could not be created: /mnt/.virtiofs-root/shared/Users/john.wilkes/Documents/Claude/Artifacts/cpe-amplitude-issues-tracker: mkdir /mnt/.virtiofs-root/shared/Users/john.wilkes/Documents: file exists

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by ensuring that the claude_desktop_config.json file is correctly configured to use the Desktop path for the project, and verifying that the selected project folder does not have any hardcoded references to the Documents path.

Guidance

• Verify that the claude_desktop_config.json file has been updated correctly to use the Desktop path for the project, and that the changes have been saved.
• Check the project settings to ensure that the selected folder is indeed on the Desktop and not in the Documents folder.
• Investigate if there are any other configuration files or settings that may be overriding the claude_desktop_config.json settings.
• Consider resetting the Cowork configuration to its default state to see if the issue persists.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and not code.

Notes

The issue seems to be a regression, and the last working version was 1.4758.0 (fb266c). The current version is 2.1.119 (Claude Desktop App). The user has already attempted several workarounds, but the issue persists.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the claude_desktop_config.json file to use the Desktop path for the project, and verify that the selected project folder does not have any hardcoded references to the Documents path. This is recommended because the issue seems to be related to configuration, and updating the configuration file may resolve the issue.
