codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix File links in chat do not open in editor [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue with file links not opening in the VSCode editor when clicked may be related to the configuration or compatibility of the openai.chatgpt extension.

Guidance

• Verify that the file paths sent by Codex are correct and absolute, ensuring they point to existing files within the workspace.
• Check the VSCode settings and the openai.chatgpt extension settings for any configuration options related to handling file links, such as path resolution or security restrictions.
• Attempt to open a file link in a new VSCode window or a different workspace to isolate if the issue is specific to the current workspace or setup.
• Review the extension's documentation or support resources for any known issues or updates related to file link handling.

Example

No specific code snippet is applicable in this case, as the issue seems related to extension configuration or compatibility rather than custom code.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the version of the openai.chatgpt extension (26.409.20454) or the VSCode version (1.116.0), and checking for updates or known issues with these versions could provide more insight.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the troubleshooting steps already attempted, the next step would be to try a different approach, such as manually opening the files referenced by Codex or seeking further support from the extension developers, as there's no clear indication that an upgrade to a fixed version would immediately resolve the issue.
