codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex does not recognize changes it has done when doing edits to commit. [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by using an external editor like VS Code to commit changes, which is currently faster than waiting for the Codex App to recognize changes.

Guidance

• The delay in the commit button becoming active after Codex makes changes suggests a potential issue with the app's file system watching or change detection mechanism.
• To verify the issue, reproduce the steps provided, paying close attention to the time it takes for the commit button to become active after making changes with Codex versus using an external editor like VS Code.
• Consider using the external editor workaround for committing changes until the issue is resolved, as it has been reported to be faster.
• If the issue persists, providing more details about the repository size, change types, and Codex configuration might help in identifying the root cause.

Notes

The exact cause of the delay is unclear, and more information about the Codex App's internals or specific configurations might be needed for a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, using an external editor like VS Code to commit changes seems to be the most straightforward workaround to mitigate the delay issue until a more permanent solution is found.
