Description
Description
/iterate still cannot be loaded as a Codex plugin after the previous fix in #202.
The upstream marketplace snapshot appears correct: skills/iterate/.codex-plugin exists and is a symlink to .plugin.
However, after installing the plugin with Codex CLI, the installed cache no longer contains .codex-plugin, so Codex still fails to load the plugin.
Environment
- Codex CLI version:
0.132.0 - OS: Linux x86_64
- Marketplace:
https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions.git - Plugin:
iterate@openhands-extensions
Steps to Reproduce
codex plugin marketplace upgrade openhands-extensions
codex plugin remove iterate@openhands-extensions
codex plugin add iterate@openhands-extensions
Then start a new Codex session or trigger plugin loading.
Observed Behavior
The marketplace snapshot contains the expected symlink:
~/.codex/.tmp/marketplaces/openhands-extensions/skills/iterate/.codex-plugin -> .plugin
But after installation, the plugin cache does not contain .codex-plugin:
~/.codex/plugins/cache/openhands-extensions/iterate/1.0.0/
.plugin/
README.md
SKILL.md
commands/
references/
Codex then logs:
codex_core_plugins::loader: failed to load plugin: missing or invalid plugin.json plugin="iterate@openhands-extensions" path=~/.codex/plugins/cache/openhands-extensions/iterate/1.0.0
As a result, /iterate is not available in Codex.
Expected Behavior
iterate@openhands-extensions should install with a valid Codex manifest path:
~/.codex/plugins/cache/openhands-extensions/iterate/1.0.0/.codex-plugin/plugin.json
and /iterate should be registered as a usable command.
