claude settings.json related issue

[ivan-velikanov]

When I am running it I am simply getting the following error:

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Settings Error

 C:\user\<projectname>\.claude\settings.local.json

 Files with errors are skipped entirely, not just the invalid settings.

 ❯ 1. Exit and fix manually
   2. Continue without these settings

 Enter to confirm · Esc to cancel

When I press enter, it asks me the same question in loop.
And secondly even if I repair this file and I restart I get the same error.
I do not get this error when I run in console (windown terminal).
BTW I am on windows, I wonder if that is source of these issues.

BTW the dark them for the console is nice.

This file is generated/modified by the plugin and it is cleared/removed when you close the chaude session. It tells Claude Code how to reach the plugin.

Could you run Claude Code from NetBeans and copy this file before pressing enter or closing the session and post it here? Is it correct?

This file should look (after formatting) like:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
        "matcher": "Edit|Write|MultiEdit",
        "hooks": [{
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:28991/hook"
          }]
      }],
    "Stop": [{
        "matcher": ".*",
        "hooks": [{
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:28991/stop"
          }]
      }],
    "PermissionRequest": [{
        "matcher": ".*",
        "hooks": [{
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:28991/permission-request"
          }]
      }]
  }
}

• If your file looks like this, but Claude Code rejects it, let's check the claude code version. I've tested the plugin with 2.1.78 and 2.1.104. Maybe some old versions could not handle it correctly.
• If your file looks differently, then the root cause in the plugin itself. We should make more research.

My version is v2.1.37 i will update and recheck.

This is what is giving the issue :

{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":[{"matcher":"Edit|Write|MultiEdit","hooks":[{"type":"http","url":"http://localhost:28991/hook"}]}],"Stop":[{"matcher":".*","hooks":[{"type":"http","url":"http://localhost:28991/stop"}]}],"PermissionRequest":[{"matcher":".*","hooks":[{"type":"http","url":"http://localhost:28991/permission-request"}]}]}}

I tried the config you gave, i just had to select 'continue without these settings' option.
Claude was working but showing error messages and told to run doctor.

@ivan-velikanov Your file is ex exatly the same as mine.

Working without these settings breaks the plugin integration.

Seems 2.1.37 does not support these settings. I'll try to download 2.1.37 and test with it.
