What's Wrong?

I'm using nx with Cypress. I asked Claude Code in VSCode extension to run npx nx e2e project-name. No matter what I tried, it doesn't work.

Then I ran Claude Code in the terminal. It worked.

I asked claude to run cmd //c set (double slash required for git bash), and I saw that when it runs commands from the vscode ext, the env is different. I guess it breaks Cypress somehow.

Currently, I can't use the vscode extension. Maybe that's not too bad, it lacks other features like rewind. But I hope it will be fixed so I can use it in the future.

What Should Happen?

I guess it'd be best to run commands in a clean env.

Tricky. But asking claude to run cmd //c set is a good start.
