What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.409.20454

What subscription do you have?

Pro $200

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

In the side panel, I am no longer able to see any file diffs, other than "Last turn". Refreshing the diffs and restarting the computer have not fixed the issue.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create a new branch off of master. Ask to Codex to edit a file and save it. Go to the side panel and look for diffs. A diff will appear for Last turn, but not for Unstaged, Staged, or Branch (your new branch -> master). Committing the change makes no difference either.

What is the expected behavior?

In the scenario described above, there should be a Branch diff visible.

Additional information

I believe my version of the Codex app updated recently, and this is when I first saw this behavior. Before, diffs were working fine. I run WSL as my agent environment.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue with missing file diffs in the Codex App side panel may be related to the recent update, and checking the update history or reverting to a previous version might resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists after restarting the Codex App and the WSL environment to rule out any temporary glitches.
  • Check the Codex App's update history to see if there are any known issues or bug fixes related to file diffs in the recent updates.
  • Try creating a new branch and committing changes without using the WSL environment to isolate if the issue is related to the environment or the Codex App itself.
  • Review the Codex App's documentation or support resources to see if there are any configuration changes or settings that might affect the display of file diffs.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the combination of the Codex App version, WSL environment, and Windows platform, so further investigation and troubleshooting may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try reverting to a previous version of the Codex App or checking for any available hotfixes, as the issue seems to be related to the recent update.
