#Error creating new session after upgrading to 2026.4.26 (be8c246)
1 messages ยท Page 1 of 1 (latest)
That looks like an empty first-turn prompt hitting the OpenAI/Codex Responses path.
If this happened right after New Session, /new, or /reset with no extra text, it matches a post-2026.4.26 regression I can see fixed on main but not in the current npm release yet.
Workarounds for now:
- Start the new session, then send the real message separately.
- Or use
/reset your actual prompt hereinstead of a bare/reset//new.
Please also run:
openclaw status --all
openclaw doctor
If it keeps happening on normal non-empty messages too, file it here with that log + status output: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues
It worked when I said /new prompt instead of a bare /new. Thanks dude.
Awesome, glad that got you unstuck ๐
That pretty strongly confirms the bare /new path. Until the next release lands, just include a little text after /new or /reset.
