What's Wrong?
When running commands through Claude Code VSCode extension, every command shows:
tput: No value for $TERM and no -T specified
Error: invalid argument "-" for "-w, --width" flag: strconv.ParseUint: parsing "-": invalid syntax
Environment:
- OS: Fedora/Bluefin Linux
- Claude Code: 2.0.25 (VSCode extension)
- CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT: claude-vscode
The warnings appear to come from Claude Code's terminal output processing calling tput/gum
in an environment where TERM is not set, even though TERM is properly set within bash.
What Should Happen?
No warnings
