Stalling on terminal access (zsh)

Actual vs. Expected Behavior

I'm using the "Boomerang Mode" feature to develop, and Roo opens a new code window in order to create new files (which it does fine). However on then creating a new folder with mkdir -p the window stalls and does nothing. I have to close the editor entirely (and back into boomerang mode) in order for it to acknowledge the change happening.

My terminal is zsh (using Oh My Zsh) - I read in a reddit post that switching to bash fixes the issue which it does appear to work.

Detailed Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure visual studio is set up to use zsh
2. Ask roo to create a new folder and then create a file in it
3. It will get stuck after creating the folder.

Oh my I this happened to me once today.. I am using zsh as well. This is really annoying! We need to figure this out. Moving it for scoping. As get get more info about steps to repro it we can move forward with it. Until then its a bit of a ghost :(

who would love a reproducer, as this maybe the same as #2205

Try this build of #2456:

• https://www.linuxglobal.com/out/roo/roo-cline-3.11.11-fix-misc-terminal-issues.vsix

and tweak these settings to see if you can get it to work:

Thanks @KJ7LNW for the link and the suggested settings! 🙏
I tested this build and some settings tweak, but unfortunately I’m still experiencing the issue. Command execution doesn’t work in the terminal when using ZSH, although it works fine with Bash.

If it helps, I’d be happy to assist in reproducing the issue on your side. Let me know what information or setup details you might need from me to do that.

thanks, I appreciate that!

• what is your operating system?
• any special zsh settings (pw10k, oh-my-zsh)?
• vs code version: help->about->copy -> paste here
• Roo version?

Here’s the info you asked for:

• ZSH settings: I also tried removing my .zshrc (which included powerlevel10k and some other configs) but same behavior
• VS Code version:
