No workflows are running?

[awlawl]

I've been working to try out the new Archon for a few hours now. After several reinstallations I am stuck with the same issue. I have run through the installation via claude as well as archon setup

I thought it might have been fixed a few hours ago when I saw that there were some windows fixes and pulled down hash 53cabd4 and rebuilt+installed my cli. No luck.

Whenever I kick off a workflow such as archon workflow run archon-fix-github-issue --branch fix/issue-1 "Fix issue #1" I can see that it initializes the workflow, but never really does anything with it. If I take a look in the web portal, every workflow is just sitting on the first step. When I check my claude usage, it never goes up. I tried kicking off a workflow via claude, it started and put a task in the background. Here is the output:

Also, I feel this might be related. When I use archon chat "hello" I don't get any output, just these log messages:

My .env file is simply this (no secrets). It always makes this file when I run through any of the setup processes.

# Server
PORT=3000

# Concurrency
MAX_CONCURRENT_CONVERSATIONS=10

My hunch is that it never actually kicks off Claude, but doesn't give any errors, just hangs.

I figured it out. I was running archon via bash on windows. It wasn't able to locate the claude executable because it was trying to use a windows style path, but that isn't native when inside bash. When I run it via CMD, it works.

It makes sense that it could have issues like this, but I frequently use bash inside a VScode-ish app and I haven't run into this issue yet with other apps. I seem to remember there is a way to resolve the paths without having code to handle this situation.
