Codex tries to run shell commands in single quotes

Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Sep 19, 2025 by DenisGorbachev Closed Apr 18, 2026

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.39.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5-codex high

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

• Ran 'fd mise.toml'
  └ bash: fd mise.toml: command not found

• Ran 'ls'

• Ran 'rg "dx:build:web" mise.toml'
  └ bash: rg "dx:build:web" mise.toml: command not found

Codex tries to run 'fd mise.toml' instead of fd mise.toml (without quotes).

I can't reproduce it with a specific prompt, but it happens sporadically quite often.

Maybe we can simply trim ' before executing the command?

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should execute the shell commands without wrapping them in single quotes.

What do you see instead?
