The `codex --resume` and `codex --continue` seems not working

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Sep 4, 2025 by doggy8088 Closed Sep 4, 2025

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.29.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

The "Getting started" doc have a wrong description. The following 2 arguments seems doesn't exist.

Resume options:

  • --resume: open an interactive picker of recent sessions (shows a preview of the first real user message). Conflicts with --continue.
  • --continue: resume the most recent session without showing the picker (falls back to starting fresh if none exist). Conflicts with --resume.

Examples:

codex --resume
codex --continue

What is the expected behavior?

I expected to resume or continue last session.

What do you see instead?

$  codex --continue
error: unexpected argument '--continue' found

  tip: a similar argument exists: '--config'

Usage: codex --config <key=value> [PROMPT]

For more information, try '--help'.

Additional information

The docs seems outdated. It can be removed.
