Switching does not take effect for Claude Code for VS Code.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

Reports state that the latest Claude Code for VS Code starts through the GUI rather than the command line, so the configured env appears not to take effect. The maintainer suggested enabling “Apply to Claude plugin” in settings.

However, the reporter said it still did not work in both the 3.8.2 portable and installed versions. Another user also confirmed that enabling it did not work, while WSL worked normally. The issue was closed, but the discussion did not provide a confirmed working fix or a reason for closing it.
