codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex app can’t open clickable local file paths when the path contains spaces (macOS) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by properly handling URL-encoded spaces in file paths.

Guidance

• Verify that the Codex App correctly handles URL-encoded spaces (%20) in file paths by checking the link generation logic.
• Inspect the link target to ensure it matches the expected file path, considering the URL encoding of spaces.
• Test the link with a file path containing no spaces to isolate the issue.
• Consider manually replacing %20 with a space in the link target to test if it resolves the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code change.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to how the Codex App handles URL-encoded spaces in file paths. Without access to the app's codebase, it's difficult to provide a definitive fix. However, ensuring proper handling of URL encoding should resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user can try manually replacing %20 with a space in the link target to test if it resolves the issue, as this might indicate the need for a more robust URL decoding mechanism in the Codex App.
