codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex background terminal starts opening folders / not relevant to EAS submission and build [2 comments, 3 participants]

↳ rg: /Users/christopherlam/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary: Operation not permitted (os error 1) rg: /Users/christopherlam/Library/Photos: Operation not permitted (os error 1) rg: /Users/christopherlam/Desktop: Operation not permitted (os error 1)

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by adjusting the file search scope or permissions to prevent Codex from accessing irrelevant directories.

Guidance

• Review the rg command used by Codex to ensure it's correctly filtering files and directories, potentially adjusting the -g flag to narrow down the search.
• Check the permissions of the directories being accessed, such as /Users/christopherlam/Pictures/ and /Users/christopherlam/Library/Photos, to see if they can be restricted to prevent Codex from attempting to open them.
• Verify that the SKILL.md file path in the rg command is correct and points to the intended location.
• Consider modifying the Codex configuration or the script that invokes rg to exclude certain directories from the search.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems related to configuration or permissions rather than a specific code snippet.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear without more information about the Codex configuration and the script or command that invokes rg. The provided error messages suggest a permissions issue, but the root cause might be related to how Codex interacts with the file system or how the search command is constructed.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the file search scope or permissions, as the issue seems to be related to how Codex interacts with the file system rather than a version-specific bug that could be fixed by an upgrade.
