Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 unknown

using @filename the file

The file is there and can't suggest it also .codexignore files:

__pycache__/
onechar/
test.ipynb
*.pth
*.ckpt
*.ipynb
events.out*

.gitignore

dataset/
__pycache__/
logs/
onechar/
test.ipynb
*.pth
*.ckpt
*.ipynb
events.out*

What is the expected behavior?

It should suggest files. I only see this bug in recent releases.

This should be fixed in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3783, I'm using the cli, so feel free to build from source.

Thanks @aminroosta! - let's see if it gets merged. Annoying...!

  no matches

Interestingly, the only two files it sees are:

› @.
 
  .env.example
  .gitignore

› @e
 
  .env.example
  .gitignore
