codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex not waiting for commands to complete before continuing [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The Codex App should be modified to wait for a terminal command to finish executing before continuing, similar to the Codex CLI.

Guidance

• The issue is likely caused by the Codex App not waiting for the terminal command to finish, resulting in unnecessary loops and potential breaks in the test.
• To verify the issue, reproduce the bug by asking the model to run a long-lived command (e.g., sleep 120) and observe if it waits for the command to finish.
• A potential workaround could be to send an <end of turn> signal after initiating the command and wait for the response, although this may not be a perfect solution.
• The model's ability to wait for a terminal command to finish should be implemented, similar to the Codex CLI, to resolve the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not explicitly stated or strongly implied in the issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Codex App and not the Codex CLI, which already has the desired functionality. The exact implementation details are not provided, so a precise solution cannot be given.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Send an <end of turn> signal after initiating the command and wait for the response, as this may help mitigate the issue until a proper fix is implemented.
