Question

Claude Code says 'I've completed the task' but the tests fail

Solved · 138 views · asked by leo_prompts · edited

It declares victory without running the tests. When I run them, red.

What I’ve tried

Told it to 'run the tests'. It ran them once, then stopped doing it.

Put the check in CLAUDE.md as a hard rule and name the command: 'Before you say a task is done, run npm run check and paste the last 5 lines of output. A red check means the task is not done.' The 'paste the output' part is what makes it actually run.

Naming the command did it. Making it paste the output is the key bit. leo_prompts · edited
