app is terminal?iterm2?

It is recommended to add the app information.

I think you can try using node v20.

I found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45964178/referenceerror-window-is-not-defined-at-object-anonymous-node-js, so i add const window = globalThis; to js file, got issue

$> is
inshellisense session [live]
__is_update_cwd:1: command not found: __vsc_escape_value

so it only working under vscode?

btw: app is iterm2

Same issue here.

The exception was thrown inside the dependency xterm-headless

https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/blob/HEAD/src/common/TaskQueue.ts#L145

For some reason the isNode variable was false so that xterm-headless tried to access the browser only global object window which is not available in node.

The isNode is set here

https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/blob/master/src/common/Platform.ts#L17

The code is correct. process is a nodejs only global object so that isNode should be set to true. There must be some other weird issues. I don't want to investigate it in depth and my first inshellisense experiment ends here.
