claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Fire hooks on background task completion [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

To address the issue of hooks not firing on background task completion, consider adding a new hook event type specifically for background task completions.

Guidance

• Investigate the current hook pipeline to understand why PostToolUse does not fire for background tasks, and determine if modifications can be made to include these events.
• Evaluate the feasibility of introducing a new hook event type for background task completions, considering potential impacts on existing functionality and backwards compatibility.
• Review the documentation for run_in_background: true to ensure it clearly communicates the current behavior and limitations regarding hook events.
• Consider reaching out to the development team or maintainers for further discussion on the best approach to implement hook events for background task completions.

Notes

The ideal solution may depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the project, including performance considerations and the need for backwards compatibility.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a new hook event type for background task completions, as this approach allows for more flexibility and explicit handling of these events without potentially disrupting existing functionality.
