codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Remote SSH shows "Current working directory missing" on App if project path involves Upper Case [2 comments, 3 participants]

Open it as a remote project in Codex App, then create a chat, and it yields the error.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by ensuring the project path is in lowercase or configuring the Codex App to handle uppercase paths correctly.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is specific to the Codex App's handling of uppercase paths by testing with different project paths.
• Check if the Codex App has any configuration options for handling case sensitivity in project paths.
• Consider renaming the project folder to use lowercase letters to see if the issue is resolved.
• If the issue persists, try creating a new project with a lowercase path to isolate the problem.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the Codex App's configuration or behavior rather than a specific code implementation.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the version of the Codex App being used (Version 26.415.20818) or the platform (Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm), and further investigation may be needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Rename project folders to use lowercase letters to avoid the issue until a more permanent solution is found. This is a safe and straightforward approach to mitigate the problem.
