Open 💬 5 comments Opened Apr 20, 2026 by nvemuri4649

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.417.40842 (1851)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

macOS

What issue are you seeing?

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/home/nvemuri/projects/rl-experiments'

Context: Codex macOS app connected to a remote repo over SSH. Remote terminal/session is Linux

What happened: When viewing “All files” or the changed files view in Codex, it appears to resolve the remote Linux path locally in the macOS app, which fails with ENOENT.

Environment:

  • Codex app on macOS
  • Remote repo over SSH

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps:

  1. Open the Codex macOS app
  2. Connect to a remote machine over SSH
  3. Open a repo at /home/[USER]/projects
  4. Open the "All files" view and/or the changed files view
  5. Observe the app fail with ENOENT for the remote path

What is the expected behavior?

Expected: All files and changed files views should work with SSH-connected repos by resolving paths on the remote machine, without trying to stat the remote workspace path locally on macOS.
