What's Wrong?

Description

Claude Code's bash command execution fails when the environment contains exported bash functions from Lmod (Lua-based module system), commonly used in HPC and scientific computing environments.

Error

/bin/bash: -c: line 16: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'

Cause

Lmod exports shell functions via BASH_FUNC_module%% and BASH_FUNC_ml%% environment variables. These contain complex multi-line shell code with quotes that break Claude Code's bash wrapper script construction.

Example exported function: BASH_FUNC_module%%=() { local __lmod_my_status; local __lmod_sh_dbg; case "$-" in vx*) __lmod_sh_dbg='vx' ;; ... }

Workaround

Unset the functions before launching Claude:

  alias claude='unset -f module ml 2>/dev/null; unset BASH_FUNC_module%% BASH_FUNC_ml%%; command claude'

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should sanitize or properly handle BASH_FUNC_*%% environment variables in its bash wrapper.

Error Messages/Logs

/bin/bash: -c: line 16: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use a Linux system with Lmod installed
2. Start a login shell (bash -l) which sources Lmod
3. Launch Claude Code
4. Any bash command fails with the above error
