Codex Can't Run Commands: Error: spawn ... ENOENT

Community

I just setup Codex in my WSL environment. Whenever I prompt it to help me with my web app, it tries to execute commands but this error happens:

Error: spawn {SOME COMMAND} ENOENT

Usually it’s a find or ls. Regardless, this ends up with it trying multiple times before thinking for 80+ seconds.

How do I get commands to work for Codex?

Also getting Invalid patch text when it trys to apply changes to my code.

Running export SHELL=/bin/bash then trying codex "my prompt" seems to have fixed my issues.

Codex isn’t impressing me. Most of the time, patches aren’t applied. Also, I have to specify files to reference or use as context, it acts like it isn’t within the context/directory of a project. At this point, it’s easier and cheaper to have ChatGPT Pro and just paste in files for edits there.
