Windows: PowerShell commands incorrectly routed to Bash tool, causing crash

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 11, 2026 by JohnnyChanZY Closed Jun 20, 2026

Summary

On Windows, Claude Code incorrectly routes PowerShell commands (like Test-Path) to the Bash tool instead of the PowerShell tool. When the command fails, the application crashes with undefined is not an object (evaluating 'H.command').

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Home China 10.0.26200
  • Shell: PowerShell 5.1 / Git Bash (MSYS2/MinGW)

Steps to Reproduce

Execute a task involving path validation on Windows, e.g.:

Check if directory D:\毕设\6_毕业答辩 exists

Observed Behavior

Claude Code executed:

Bash(Test-Path "D:\毕设\6_毕业答辩" && "目录存在" || "目录不存在")

Error Output

Error: Exit code 127
/usr/bin/bash: line 1: Test-Path: command not found

Crash

ERROR  undefined is not an object (evaluating 'H.command')
B:/~BUN/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:4931:2966

Root Cause

  1. Wrong tool selection: Test-Path is a PowerShell cmdlet but was routed to Bash tool
  2. Missing null check: Code accesses H.command property without checking if H or H.command is defined

Expected Behavior

  1. PowerShell commands should use the PowerShell tool on Windows
  2. Command failures should not crash the application - graceful error handling needed

Impact

  • Critical: Application crashes, losing session context
  • Affects all Windows users when path validation or other PowerShell commands are needed
