i get this to . with just a simple update the readme prompt . for me it might be relates to the file.
becuse CC can edit other files.
The error happens right away , there is no time to click "Yes"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

you keep crasing when editing the root readme . try to open it and add just any char

⏺ I'll help you test editing the root README file. Let me first check if there's a README file in the root directory.

⏺ List(.)
⎿ Listed 732 paths (ctrl+r to expand)

⏺ I don't see a README file in the root directory. Let me create one and add a character to test if it causes a crash.

⏺ Write(README.md)

I have faced the same issue with my Mac also. I had to turned off the ide integration to be able to continue to work. It seems it has something to do with VSCode integration.

I have the same issue with my Mac M1 with VS code

Same issue. VSCode and usually fails when updating a README

same issue.

I found a workaround (making the file not empty) and potential root cause (attempting to update an empty file).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. I asked Claude Code to update an empty markdown file that I created.
  2. I got the error below
  3. I added one line to the file so that it was no longer empty
  4. Repeated the same instructions
  5. Claude Code updated the file with no issues.

I repeated this same workaround when it failed to run /init - I created CLAUDE.md and added content.

node:internal/process/promises:394
triggerUncaughtException(err, true / fromPromise /);

same thing here when CC creates a file and I want to save it in my directory, I don't have time to say yes to his question that I have this error coming.

Same here. Please advice.

sokeroner · 1 year ago

Try disabling any extensions or settings that might affect how the files are displayed (Markdown, SVG, etc.).
That worked for me!

And then they tell me that I'm reaching the model limits because the tool has failed to write CLAUDE.md 3 times in a row and wasted tokens :)
