Bug Report: Claude Code CLI unresponsive after update to version 0.2.119
Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [x] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: 0.2.119 (updated from 0.2.118)
- Operating System: macOS (MacBook Pro)
- Terminal: Terminal App
Bug Description
After installing Claude Code CLI version 0.2.118, the application prompts to update to version 0.2.119. However, after completing this update, the CLI becomes completely unresponsive - all Claude commands produce no output or response whatsoever.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Claude Code using
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.118 - Launch Claude Code
- Receive prompt to update to version 0.2.119: "Update installed · Restart to apply"
- Complete the update to version 0.2.119
- Try to run any Claude command (e.g.,
claudeorclaude /init) - Observe that the commands produce no output or response
Expected Behavior
Claude CLI should respond to commands like claude or claude /init with appropriate output or actions.
Actual Behavior
After updating to version 0.2.119, running any Claude command results in no response or output. The terminal simply returns to the command prompt without any feedback or error messages, as if the command wasn't recognized.
Additional Context
- The issue occurs consistently with all Claude commands after updating to version 0.2.119
- Version 0.2.118 works correctly before the update
- The npm repository shows 0.2.118 as the latest version, but the application still prompts for update to 0.2.119

Also experiencing this. Is there a way to downgrade permanently back to 0.2.118?
You can run this:
npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.118
To downgrade use
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.118Same problem. Got an update, after that
claudedoesn't produce any output. Running in WSL on Windows 10.Even a fresh install, running claude does nothing.
Yep, pretty disappointing. Is there no QA for these releases? I just spent $170 this morning on this product and it's immediately broken.
On macos, last version which works for me is 117 - 118 and 119 does not produce any output, even claude --help gives no output.
v0.2.120 seems to have been released, which works for me! (ubuntu 24.04 and node v22.15.1)
BTW: this is a duplicate of #1158
Please update to 0.2.120. Sorry about that!
