codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Last created task won't show any messages or accept new prompts. [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The issue might be related to the order of task creation and the extension's handling of new tasks, and creating a new task and restarting the extension seems to resolve the issue temporarily.

Guidance

• Try creating a new task and then restart the extension to see if the issue shifts to the new task, as described in the reproduction steps.
• Verify that the task data is being saved correctly by checking if the task contents are preserved when the issue is resolved by creating a new task and restarting.
• Test if the issue persists when creating multiple new tasks and restarting the extension multiple times to see if there's a pattern.
• Consider reporting this behavior as a bug to the extension developers, as it seems to be related to the extension's internal state management.

Notes

The provided information suggests a potential issue with the extension's handling of task creation and internal state, but without more details about the extension's code or data storage, it's difficult to provide a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: creating a new task and restarting the extension seems to temporarily resolve the issue, and this can be used as a stopgap measure until a more permanent fix is found.
