26.421.11020

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Windows 11

What issue are you seeing?

Just do some file searching on the remote workspace. The result is unreliable, it's wrong or no response. The remote workspace is my local headless machine, so the network is robust and fast. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5747346f-9f04-4393-b621-e0750cc2cb21

I used the codex repo as an example.

TL;DR

The issue with unreliable search results in the Codex App on a remote workspace may be related to the app's configuration or the remote connection, and verifying the app's settings and the remote workspace connection could help resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Check the Codex App's settings to ensure that the remote workspace is properly configured and connected.
  • Verify that the network connection between the local machine and the remote workspace is stable and functioning correctly.
  • Try reproducing the issue with a different repository or dataset to isolate the problem.
  • Review the provided asset (https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5747346f-9f04-4393-b621-e0750cc2cb21) for any relevant information or clues.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution. The guidance provided is general and intended to help the user troubleshoot the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try verifying the app's settings and the remote workspace connection to see if it resolves the issue, as the problem may be related to the configuration or connection rather than the app itself.
