codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix File tree Flickers after project directory rename [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adding an option to set or change the project directory in the context menu of the project on the left sidebar.

Guidance

• The problem seems to occur when the project folder is renamed manually, causing Codex to lose track of the working directory.
• To verify the issue, try creating a new project, adding a working directory, renaming the directory, and then checking if Codex still shows the "Current working directory missing" message.
• A potential workaround is to provide a way to update the project directory path in the Codex App, such as through the suggested "Set/Change Project directory" option in the project context menu.
• The flickering file tree and "Current working directory missing" message may be related to Codex's inability to propagate the new path to all parts of the app.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not explicitly mentioned in the issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Codex App version 26.422.30944 and the Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm platform.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add an option to set or change the project directory in the context menu of the project on the left sidebar, as this seems to be the most direct way to resolve the issue and provide a better user experience.
