Revert #5642 because this generates: ``` // GENERATED CODE! DO NOT MODIFY BY HAND! // This file was generated by [ts-rs](https://github.com/Aleph-Alpha/ts-rs). Do not edit this file manually. export type GetAccountResponse = Account | null; ``` But `Account` is unknown. The unique use of `#[ts(export)]` on `GetAccountResponse` is also suspicious as are the changes to `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/export.rs` since the existing system has worked fine for quite some time. Though a pure backout of #5642 puts things in a state where, as the PR noted, the following does not work: ``` cargo run -p codex-app-server-protocol --bin export -- --out DIR ``` So in addition to the backout, this PR adds: ```rust #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone, PartialEq, JsonSchema, TS)] #[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")] pub struct GetAccountResponse { pub account: Account, } ``` and changes `GetAccount.response` as follows: ```diff - response: Option<Account>, + response: GetAccountResponse, ``` making it consistent with other types. With this change, I verified that both of the following work: ``` just codex generate-ts --out /tmp/somewhere cargo run -p codex-app-server-protocol --bin export -- --out /tmp/somewhere-else ``` The generated TypeScript is as follows: ```typescript // GetAccountResponse.ts import type { Account } from "./Account"; export type GetAccountResponse = { account: Account, }; ``` and ```typescript // Account.ts import type { PlanType } from "./PlanType"; export type Account = { "type": "ApiKey", api_key: string, } | { "type": "chatgpt", email: string | null, plan_type: PlanType, }; ``` Though while the inconsistency between `"type": "ApiKey"` and `"type": "chatgpt"` is quite concerning, I'm not sure if that format is ever written to disk in any case, but @owenlin0, I would recommend looking into that. Also, it appears that the types in `codex-rs/protocol/src/account.rs` are used exclusively by the `app-server-protocol` crate, so perhaps they should just be moved there?
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 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. If you use npm:
npm install -g @openai/codex
Alternatively, if you use Homebrew:
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started:
codex
If you're running into upgrade issues with Homebrew, see the FAQ entry on brew upgrade codex.
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.
