What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides guidance for interactively testing the Codex Text User Interface (TUI) to verify changes and ensure proper functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive Testing: Offers instructions for starting and using the Codex TUI for verification.
  • Debugging Support: Recommends specific logging configurations (RUST_LOG="trace") and log directory settings (-c log_dir=<some_temp_dir>) to aid in debugging.
  • Programmatic Interaction: Provides guidance on how to send test messages programmatically, emphasizing the separation of text input and Enter key presses.

Quick Start

Start the Codex TUI interactively with detailed logging enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test the Codex TUI interactively to verify my code changes?

To test the Codex TUI interactively, start the application with specific command-line arguments and logging configurations to verify changes and ensure proper functionality during development.

What logging configuration is needed to debug the Codex Text User Interface?

Debugging the Codex Text User Interface requires setting RUST_LOG to trace and configuring a log directory using -c log_dir=<some_temp_dir> to capture detailed diagnostic outputs.

How do I send test messages programmatically to the Codex TUI?

Sending test messages programmatically to the Codex TUI requires separating text input events from Enter key presses to ensure the interface registers the input correctly.

Can I use the Codex TUI for interactive debugging during development?

Yes, the Codex TUI supports interactive debugging by allowing developers to start the interface with trace logging enabled to monitor application behavior and verify functionality.

What command-line arguments are required to start the Codex TUI for testing?

Starting the Codex TUI for testing requires specifying a log directory via -c log_dir=<some_temp_dir> and enabling trace logging with RUST_LOG to capture detailed runtime information.

Why does programmatic message sending fail in the Codex TUI?

Programmatic message sending in the Codex TUI may fail if text input and Enter key presses are not separated into distinct events, preventing the interface from processing the submission correctly.
