[BUG] Interactive Session can't be resumed on WSL using --resume <session_id> after monitoring project folder for jsonl file

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jun 12, 2025 by mrieck Closed Jan 6, 2026

Environment

  • Platform (select one):
  • [X] Anthropic API (Max Subscription)
  • Claude CLI version: 1.0.21
  • Operating System: Windows 11, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
  • Terminal: powershell, wsl

Bug Description

After entering interactive session then looking in the ~/.claude/projects/-mnt-c-projectfolder for session id from jsonl filename can't resume session with
claude --resume "session-filename"
e.g.
claude --resume "429fe9f8-0909-4904-92c0-0a368bc88a57"
No conversation found with session ID: 429fe9f8-0909-4904-92c0-0a368bc88a57

Doing
claude --resume
I can pick the item and resume the session, but not by using the session id explicitly

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude in interactive mode (not -p)
  2. Monitor jsonl file coming in for project folder
  3. Exit claude with ctrl-c, try resuming session with "claude --resume <session_id>"

Expected Behavior

Would like to resume any session in project folders

Actual Behavior

Always not found

Additional Context

Would be great if the list when doing "claude --resume" listed the session ids and project folder to easier debug. Or /status should list that information for any interactive session
