PATH is overwritten inside of the sandbox #622
Description
What version of Codex is running?
0.1.2504221401
Which model were you using?
o4-mini
What platform is your computer?
darwin | arm64 | 24.4.0
What steps can reproduce the bug?
-
echo `ruby --version`2 reasoning|1 tool
What is the expected behavior?
That it respects my rbenv path. It looks like seatbelt might be overriding the PATH which forces the system ruby.
What do you see instead?
/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/boots
trap/usr/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin:
(stripped my personal paths at the end there)
Additional information
Happy to solve this another way, the goal is just to be able to us the proper ruby here.

This isn't a good solution, but for now you can have it run

I searched documents and found:
We can set environment variables as configurationLinux 6.10.14-linuxkit aarch64 unknownDarwin 24.5.0 arm64 armPATHshould be inherited by default. So this issue is labelled as a bug.https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/9846adeabf8593458bc9e3cef28e0dd6c89a59d1/codex-rs/config.md#shell_environment_policy
