Previous sessions not available on /resume

[aleksg17]

What version of Code is running?

0.2.148

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64 -> WSL -> Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open a terminal in a given folder and start via coder
2. Send message "hi"
3. Get a reply from the model
4. Exit via /quit
5. Start again (via coder)
6. Type /resume
7. Get No past sessions found for this folder

What is the expected behavior?

I would expect a similar list of past session to the one I get with codex --resume

What do you see instead?

Only "No past sessions found for this folder" no other items

Additional information

I initially run the project via pnpx @just-every/code. Then decided to install globally. I noticed that initially I had two sessions in the list on /resume but they would never get updated. After full reinstall I am stuck with "No past sessions found for this folder"
At the same time the sessions file insider of ~/.codex/sessions/2025/09/14 continue being generated.

Sorry, yeah I'm aware of this one. Should have a fix out shortly.

@aleksg17 thanks for the super clear report — expecting /resume to list your recent sessions (like codex --resume) makes total sense. And thanks @zemaj for the nudge!

We’ve updated the resume picker so that if its quick “index” isn’t there, it now looks directly in your ~/.codex/sessions folder and shows your recent sessions for the current directory. In short: /resume should no longer be empty when sessions exist.

You can try this preview right now:

• code preview resume-sessions-fix

Then start coder and type /resume to see your previous sessions.

Would love to hear if the list looks right (counts, ordering, branch info). If anything’s off or missing, drop a note here. Maintainers will review and, if this lands in a release, you’ll get an update in this thread. Thanks again!

When I use coder preview resume-sessions-fix I get the list of past conversations, but when I choose one, they don't seem to be imported, I.e. The text of the past conversation does not appear on the screen, like it does for codex, and when I ask about the content of the previous conversation, the model claims no knowledge of it.
When I use coder without the parameters afterwards, /resume still returns "No past sessions found for this folder"

@aleksg17 Thanks for the clear report and follow‑up. You were spot‑on that /resume should show your recent sessions for the current folder.

We’ve added a safe fallback so the resume picker looks directly in your ~/.codex/sessions folder when the quick “index” isn’t present. In plain terms: if you’ve got sessions saved, the list won’t be empty anymore—it shows your recent ones for this directory.

You can try the preview now:

code preview resume-sessions-fix

Then start coder and type /resume to see your previous sessions (newest first, with counts and branch info when available).

Noting your follow‑up: seeing the list but not loading the messages is separate from this fix. This preview specifically restores correct discovery/listing; we’re investigating the load/import behavior next. If you can, please share one example session filename you selected—super helpful for us to verify.

Really appreciate the help! Maintainers will review, and if this ships in a release you’ll get an update here. Thanks again!

Thanks for the report. This is fixed in 0.2.153.

The UI might still not show all tool calls (still working on that) but the general /resume process should now function as expected.

Please upgrade with npm install -g @just-every/code@latest and let me know if you encounter any issues!
