exec_command tool consistently fails with "Failed to create unified exec process: No such file or directory (os error 2)" CreateProcess { message: "Rejected("Failed to create unified exec process: No such file or directory (os error 2)")" }

1. Tool fails with the error above; no shell command executes level=ERROR target=codex_core::session::handlers error=exec_command failed for /bin/zsh -lc "<command>": CreateProcess { message: "Rejected("Failed to create unified exec process: No such file or directory (os error 2)")" } The error suggests Codex is trying to spawn a helper binary (unified-exec of some sort) that's missing or unreachable from where it's looking. which zsh returns /bin/zsh cleanly; not a shell-binary issue.

TL;DR

The exec_command tool fails due to a missing or unreachable helper binary, suggesting a potential issue with the unified-exec process.

Guidance

• Verify the existence and accessibility of the unified-exec binary, which might be required by the exec_command tool.
• Check the codex installation and configuration to ensure that the unified-exec binary is properly installed and configured.
• Investigate the error message "No such file or directory (os error 2)" to determine if it's related to a specific file or directory that the exec_command tool is trying to access.
• Consider checking the ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite log file for more detailed error messages or clues about the issue.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to a missing binary or configuration issue.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the codex-cli version 0.128.0 or the macOS 14.x environment, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to manually install or configure the unified-exec binary, if possible, to see if it resolves the issue. If not, consider reaching out to the openai/codex maintainers for further assistance.
