IDE integration: WSL path not matched to Windows working directory
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 24, 2026 by SeanFeldman Closed Feb 24, 2026
Description
When using /ide with JetBrains Rider on Windows, the path comparison fails because Rider reports the project path in WSL format (/mnt/c/github/Massient/MassTransit) while Claude Code's working directory uses the Windows format (C:\github\Massient\MassTransit).
These refer to the same directory, but the match fails and Claude Code complains the path doesn't match the project.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a project in JetBrains Rider on Windows (e.g.
C:\github\Massient\MassTransit) - Run Claude Code in the same directory
- Use
/ideto connect to Rider - Rider reports its path as
/mnt/c/github/Massient/MassTransit - Claude Code rejects it as not matching the project
Expected behavior
Path normalization should handle the WSL (/mnt/c/...) to Windows (C:\...) mapping (and vice versa) before comparing paths.
Environment
- Windows 11 Pro
- JetBrains Rider
- Claude Code CLI
