TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by checking the compatibility of the Node.js version with the IDE extension, as the latest model of Node.js is reported to not support Codex.

Guidance

  • Verify the version of Node.js being used and check if it is compatible with the IDE extension.
  • Consider downgrading Node.js to a version that is known to support Codex, if possible.
  • Check the extension's documentation or support channels for any known issues or workarounds related to Node.js version compatibility.

Notes

The issue lacks specific details about the Node.js version and the IDE extension version, which makes it difficult to provide a more precise solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the compatibility of the Node.js version with the IDE extension and consider downgrading Node.js if necessary, as the latest version is reported to cause issues with Codex support.
