What issue are you seeing?

It's not the first time this happens, but it's actually quite simple to describe.

My shell profile rc is not being loaded correctly. I am using bash and have a comprehensive setup to load environments, aliases, shell functions, etc. Before the recent update everything was fine, but after the recent update, codex claims not to find the simplest programs.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by reconfiguring the shell profile to ensure compatibility with the updated Codex App version.

Guidance

  • Verify that the shell profile rc file is correctly formatted and located in the expected directory.
  • Check if the recent update has introduced any changes to the environment variables or paths that the Codex App uses to load the shell profile.
  • Review the Codex App documentation to see if there are any specific requirements or recommendations for configuring shell profiles with the current version.
  • Test loading the shell profile manually to isolate if the issue is specific to the Codex App or a broader shell configuration problem.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the shell profile rc file or the exact changes made in the recent update, which limits the ability to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reconfigure the shell profile to ensure compatibility with the updated Codex App version, as the issue seems to be related to the update and not a straightforward version upgrade fix.
