## Why The TypeScript SDK tests create a fresh `CODEX_HOME` for each Jest case and delete it during teardown. That cleanup has been flaking because the real `codex` binary can still be doing background curated-plugin startup sync under `.tmp/plugins-clone-*`, which races the test harness's recursive delete and leaves `ENOTEMPTY` failures behind. This path is unrelated to what the SDK tests are exercising, so letting plugin startup run during these tests only adds nondeterministic filesystem activity. This showed up recently in the `sdk` CI lane for [#16031](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/16031). ## What Changed - updated `sdk/typescript/tests/testCodex.ts` to merge test config through a single helper - disabled `features.plugins` unconditionally for SDK integration tests so the CLI does not start curated-plugin sync in the temporary `CODEX_HOME` - preserved other explicit feature overrides from individual tests while forcing `plugins` back to `false` - kept the existing mock-provider override behavior intact for SSE-backed tests ## Verification - `pnpm test --runInBand` - `pnpm lint`
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
