Mac also

  1. cd to /mnt/c/Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/npm
  2. open the codex file with editor of your choice (i.e. vim, nano)
  3. Find this line (around line 15):

exec NODE_OPTIONS=--no-deprecation node ...

  1. Replace it with two lines instead:
export NODE_OPTIONS=--no-deprecation
exec node ...

... is the rest of the code after the --no-deprecation flag in the original line

This ultimately is coming from the shebang here https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/e9f84eab012bf5d59a02bc79e4d6fb1d44572718/codex-cli/src/cli.tsx#L1

looks like a portability issue? I dont see the error on mac os 15.3.2

Thanks Lucas for the quick response. That worked

@okey00 That's a workaround, not a fix. You should keep this issue open until root cause is determined and a fix merged

I did a patch in my bin folder so that I wouldn't have to edit the npm package. I've put in a PR that might fix this, hopefully. https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/42

Reopened as suggested by Jon as it's a workaround in it's current state.
