[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

  1. Start a Terminal instance with Powershell. Navigate to your project folder and start claude
  2. Observe your cwd in the welcome message. In my case it says "cwd: E:\project"
  3. Make sure Rider is running in the same project and has the Claude Code plugin installed and up to date
  4. Use the /ide slash 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"
