Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [x] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.51 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: macOS 15.3 (Darwin 24.3.0)
- Terminal: Terminal App
Bug Description
The autoUpdates config key is not recognized by the Claude CLI, despite being shown in help documentation or expected to exist. When attempting to set or get this configuration, the CLI reports it as an invalid config key.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
claude config set -g autoUpdates false - Run
claude config get -g autoUpdates - Run
claude config get autoUpdates
Expected Behavior
The autoUpdates configuration should be a valid config key that can be set and retrieved, allowing users to control automatic updates.
Actual Behavior
The CLI returns an error: 'autoUpdates' is not a valid config key. Valid keys are: allowedTools, hasTrustDialogAccepted, hasCompletedProjectOnboarding, ignorePatterns
Additional Context
- The available config keys according to
claude config listare:allowedTools,hasTrustDialogAccepted,hasCompletedProjectOnboarding, andignorePatterns - User expected
autoUpdatesto be a valid configuration option for controlling automatic updates - This may be a documentation issue if
autoUpdatesis not intended to be a config option, or a missing feature if it should be implemented
