No Statusline when Git insertions and deletions are shown

[ssi-ips]

Setup:
CCStatusline: v2.2.22
Claude Code: v2.1.179
System: Ubuntu in Windows 11 WSL

I tried to get ccstatusline working but no matter what I do claude code doesn't show the configured statusline. After the installation to claude the entry in settings.json seems correct

 "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "ccstatusline",
    "padding": 0,
    "refreshInterval": 10
  }

I try to get the default settings of ccstatusline to work but it seems ccstatusline is not called by claude code. Wenn using claude --debug I don't see any calls like with a manually configured statusline. Is there any way to debug ccstatusline itself?

I reinstalled it, tried to delete the files in ~/.config and ~/.cache. Nothing seems to help.

I have found what is causing problems. When I open Claude Code in a folder inside a git repository it doesn't work. It seems it is related to showing insertions and deletions. I tested it with branch and worktree and the line shows without problem.

The Node process running ccstatusline.js never finishes and I see it in ps aux.

@ssi-ips Thanks for narrowing this down. The insertions/deletions widgets call Git’s shortstat diff commands, so the next thing to check is whether Git itself is hanging in that repo.

From the same directory where you start Claude Code, can you run these manually?

GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 git diff --shortstat
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 git diff --cached --shortstat

Both should normally return almost immediately. If either command hangs or takes a long time, ccstatusline will also hang because it waits for that Git command before printing the statusline.

If one of them hangs, a couple more useful checks would be:

GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 git diff --no-ext-diff --no-textconv --shortstat
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 git diff --cached --no-ext-diff --no-textconv --shortstat

That will help tell whether the delay is from Git’s normal diff work, or from an external diff/textconv/filter configured in Git or .gitattributes.

Sorry I read it to late and fixed it this morning. It seems something was broken in git. A clean checkout worked fine and I already delete the broken one. I saw that the git command "never" returned. Also calling git status manually triggered a very slow index refresh. After a clean checkout everything worked fine.

Sorry for the trouble. I'm no typescript expert, maybe it's possible at a timeout to the git call and return an error
