Configured environment variables seem ineffective, Claude Code

Quick fix

After removing cc-switch, manually clean up local configuration as needed; session records in ~/.codex are unrelated to cc-switch.

Symptom

Section titled “Symptom”
Error output
用了cc-switch 之后，设置的环境变量似乎不起作用了。
English translation

After using cc-switch, configured environment variables seem to no longer take effect.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

The report involves environment variables not taking effect, session records still appearing after closing it, and a request for complete removal. A commenter suggested deleting `~/.CC-switch` and `~/.codex`, but the maintainer clarified that session records are stored in `~/.codex` and are unrelated to cc-switch.

The maintainer stated that after removing cc-switch, local configuration will no longer be changed by cc-switch; existing local configuration must be changed or cleaned up manually. The original post did not provide verifiable steps to restore environment variables.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Remove cc-switch; after removal, local configuration will no longer be changed by cc-switch.

  2. Manually change or clean up local configuration as needed. The comments mention `~/.CC-switch` and `~/.codex`; session records in `~/.codex` are unrelated to cc-switch.

  3. If the goal is to set environment variables directly, the original post does not yet provide a verifiable solution; continue following the source issue discussion.
