claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Login prompt does not accept paste input on Linux/Ubuntu terminals [9 comments, 10 participants]

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a terminal mode or input handling difference in the /login prompt, and a workaround may involve modifying the input handling or using an alternative input method.

Guidance

• Investigate the input handling in the /login prompt to see if it's using a different terminal mode or input processing than the normal chat prompt.
• Try using echo to pipe the authorization code into the /login prompt, e.g., echo "auth_code" | claude login, to see if it bypasses the input issue.
• Check if there are any environment variables or configuration options that affect the input behavior in the /login prompt.
• Consider using a tool like expect to automate the input process and see if it can successfully paste the authorization code.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it's not clearly supported by the issue, but the echo pipe suggestion above can be explored further.

Notes

The issue seems specific to the /login prompt and Linux/Ubuntu terminals, so any solution or workaround may need to account for these factors. Additionally, the fact that paste works outside of the /login prompt and in other parts of the application suggests that the issue is isolated to this specific input field.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The echo pipe method or using a tool like expect may provide a temporary solution until the root cause is identified and fixed.
