Bug Report:

Bug Description
Claude Code VS Code extension hangs indefinitely ("Unravelling..." state) when the workspace directory path contains spaces. Extension works correctly only when all directory names in the path have no spaces.

Current Workaround
Opening Claude via VS Code's integrated terminal (claude command) works correctly regardless of spaces in directory path.

Expected Behavior
Extension should properly escape/quote directory paths with spaces, matching the behavior of the CLI.

Environment

Platform: darwin (macOS)
VS Code Extension Version: 2.0.0
Claude Code CLI Version: 2.0.1
Terminal: vscode
Feedback ID: 20b18886-3527-4632-a325-0e758b93071e

Steps to Reproduce

Open VS Code in a directory with spaces in the path (e.g., /Users/theo/My Projects/test)
Attempt to use Claude Code extension (Cmd+Shift+/)
First query may work, but subsequent queries hang on "Unravelling..." indefinitely
Extension becomes unresponsive

Error Log

[
  {
    "error": "AbortError: The operation was aborted.\n    at unknown\n    at abortChildProcess (node:child_process:859:42)\n    at onAbortListener2 (node:child_process:35:24)\n    at abort (unknown)\n    at <anonymous> (/$bunfs/root/claude:3557:80)",
    "timestamp": "2025-09-30T23:31:01.204Z"
  }
]

Impact
Forces users to rely on integrated terminal instead of extension features, significantly reducing UX quality for projects with spaces in paths.

hey @tlcaputi - we haven't been able to repro this on our end. Is this consistently reproducible for you? If so, any chance you can share some of the logs you're seeing (which can be obtained through the bottom panel, as shown below):

Thanks!

Yes, it is consistently reproducible for me. However, I don't know where I would find the logs you're describing. The issue only comes up with the Claude Code VS Code extension -- not using Claude Code in the VS Code integrated terminal. It just hangs on any question like this:

hey @tlcaputi - any chance you can share the VSCode logs with us? These can be accessed in the VSCode command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) under Claude Code: Show VSCode Logs

Not OP, but I am experiencing the same issue. I have documentation related to the codebase in a folder that contains a [space] in the path. In my case, as in #1726 , the second directory (additionaldirectory, additionalDirectories, /add-dir) is an iCloud folder.

Claude DOES see the additional directory setting and attempts to load it. In the logs below, it is not clear if Claude thinks the path was loaded successfully (false positive) or if there is a silent error.

2025-10-23 13:50:31.610 [info] From claude: [DEBUG] Applying permission update: Adding 1 directory with destination 'cliArg': ["/Users/brett/Library/Mobile Documents/[redacted-no-spaces]"]

In a brief 5 minutes, what I think I see is that:

The (invalid) path that Claude attempts to load is "/Users/brett/Library/Mobile" as the [space] in the path is not escaped.
In the Claude Code for VS Code logs shown below, there is no error raised when:

A. The path is not actually valid
B. There are additional (invalid?) arguments passed when loading the path (e.g., the remainder of the path after the [space])

When running directly in the terminal, claude DOES show the user an error if the path specified in the settings file is invalid. This is the expected behavior for an invalid path. It is unclear why this error is not triggered when there is a [space] in the path.

Happy to provide further details if needed. If you need additional Claude logs, please provide instructions as part of your request.

Reproduction

I have reproduced the bug 3 different ways.

# VSCode Extension Context

You are running inside a VSCode native extension environment.

## Code References in Text
IMPORTANT: When referencing files or code locations, use markdown link syntax to make them clickable:
- For files: [filename.ts](src/filename.ts)
- For specific lines: [filename.ts:42](src/filename.ts#L42)
- For a range of lines: [filename.ts:42-51](src/filename.ts#L42-L51)
- For folders: [src/utils/](src/utils/)
Unless explicitly asked for by the user, DO NOT USE backtickets ` or HTML tags like code for file references - always use markdown [text](link) format.
The URL links should be relative paths from the root of  the user's workspace.

## User Selection Context
The user's IDE selection (if any) is included in the conversation context and marked with ide_selection tags. This represents code or text the user has highlighted in their editor and may or may not be relevant to their request. --max-thinking-tokens 31999 --model haiku --debug-to-stderr --permission-prompt-tool stdio --setting-sources user,project,local --permission-mode default --debug

🔧 Workaround: Symbolic Links for Paths with Spaces

While waiting for the official fix, here's a reliable workaround that works at the OS level:

The Problem

Claude Code fails to load directories with spaces in additionalDirectories because the path gets truncated at the first space character.

✅ Solution: Create Symbolic Links

I've created a comprehensive guide with platform-specific instructions:

📋 Complete Workaround Guide → Github Gist

The guide includes:

Quick reference for immediate implementation
Step-by-step instructions for macOS, Windows, Linux, and WSL
Common use cases (iCloud folders, Windows Documents, team folders)
Three configuration methods (settings files, CLI args, slash commands)
Verification steps to test the workaround
Troubleshooting section for common issues
Performance and security information
Alternative solutions comparison table
Related GitHub issues and technical context

Tested and Verified

I've tested this workaround in a development environment and confirmed it works across all platforms.

---

_This workaround should work immediately while the development team implements a proper fix for the underlying issue._
