What version of the IDE extension are you using?

26.409.20454

What subscription do you have?

Corporate

Which IDE are you using?

Visual Studio Code 1.115.0 (system setup)

What platform is your computer?

  • Local OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200 - Remote environment: VS Code Remote-SSH to Oracle Linux 9

What issue are you seeing?

Possible key trigger: this happens when using VS Code over Remote-SSH to an Oracle Linux 9 host. File/code links generated in Codex output are not clickable in plugin version 26.409.20454. The same behavior works correctly in version 26.406.40811, so this appears to be a regression introduced in 26.409.20454.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Connect to an Oracle Linux 9 host using Remote-SSH in VS Code.
  2. Install Codex plugin version 26.409.20454.
  3. Ask Codex to generate output containing file/code links.
  4. Click a generated file/code link in the Codex output.
  5. Observe that nothing happens.
  6. Downgrade the Codex plugin to version 26.406.40811.
  7. Repeat the same steps.
  8. Observe that file/code links work correctly there.

What is the expected behavior?

Clicking a file/code link generated in Codex output should open the target normally.

Additional information

  • Regression window:
  • Working: 26.406.40811
  • Broken: 26.409.20454
  • This may be specific to the Remote-SSH + Oracle Linux 9 setup.
  • This appears to be a plugin regression rather than a workspace/project issue.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Downgrade the Codex plugin to version 26.406.40811 to restore clickable file/code links in VS Code Remote-SSH on Oracle Linux 9.

Guidance

  • The issue appears to be a regression introduced in Codex plugin version 26.409.20454, so downgrading to the previous version may resolve the issue.
  • To verify, repeat steps 1-5 with the downgraded plugin version and check if file/code links become clickable again.
  • If downgrading is not feasible, consider testing the plugin on a different platform or setup to isolate the issue.
  • The problem may be specific to the Remote-SSH + Oracle Linux 9 setup, so testing on a local Windows environment or a different Linux distribution could provide more insight.

Notes

The provided information suggests a plugin regression, but it's unclear what specific changes caused the issue. Further investigation or debugging may be necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 26.406.40811, as it has been confirmed to work correctly in the specified setup.
