[BUG] /ide shows wrong project path for JetBrains Rider
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jul 18, 2025 by saksofonists Closed Jul 18, 2025
Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [ ] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [x] Other: Windows Native
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.55 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Terminal: Powershell
Bug Description
When I try to use /ide to connect to JetBrains Rider I am not able to do it because it complains about a mismatch between paths. Claude's cwd is displayed as E:/project and Rider's path is /mnt/e/project. This is the same path, except one is using Windows-y paths and the other is using WSL syntax. And so it won't allow me to connect.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Terminal instance with Powershell. Navigate to your project folder and start
claude - Observe your cwd in the welcome message. In my case it says "cwd: E:\project"
- Make sure Rider is running in the same project and has the Claude Code plugin installed and up to date
- Use the
/ideslash command
Expected Behavior
I can select my IDE and connect to it.
Actual Behavior
The IDE shows up in the list but can not be selected. The end of the message reads: "Found 1 other running IDE(s). However, their workspace/project directories do not match the current cwd. \n\n • JetBrains Rider: /mnt/e/project"
