codex extension in vscode can not use slash command

What do you see when you type / in the text input box? Could you post a screen shot? You should see a popup menu above the text input.

After I changed my network environment, the popup menu now appears when I type /. However, not all slash commands are available.
If I want to clear the context, how can I do that?

not all slash commands are available

Which slash command is missing?

If I want to clear the context

What do you mean by context? If you want to clear the entire context window, you can just start a new chat by clicking on the button in the upper right of the panel to start a new chat.

If you want to disable IDE Context, click on the control of that name. If you want to remove images or source files that you've previously added as context, click on the "x" in the corresponding pill.

1. Some slash commands appear in the popup menu, while others only appear in the Codex UI. I thought that all slash commands would be unified in the popup menu.
2. Thank you for your guidance on how to clear the context. It would be very convenient if it was available as a slash command.

When you say "Codex UI", I presume you mean the TUI (terminal user interface)? The TUI supports additional slash commands, many of which don't make sense in the extension or are presented with other controls in the GUI.

I have no prompts whatsoever, including pop-ups or commands.

Maybe you should check your network connection to the API URL. If you are in China, you can set up a proxy environment in the terminal where Codex is running.

I’m experiencing the same issue.

When I type / in the chat input, nothing shows up — no popup or commands at all.

@MikoyChinese could you share what exactly you changed in your network environment to fix this? I suspect mine might be related as well.

Thanks!

Make sure your network can access https://openai.com/

In my case, I was using this vscode extension in a Docker environment without network access. After fixing the network issue, the popup started working.

Thanks for the suggestion! In my case, I’m running everything locally on Windows (no Docker or remote environment), and I can confirm that openai.com is accessible from my machine.However, typing / still doesn’t show any popup or commands.
Any suggestions on what else I could check (e.g., extension logs, settings, or known issues)? Appreciate your help!

Try to restart vscode or reboot your machine.
