cwd of gonvim

[epheien]

On macOS High Sierra，when I start gonvim from dock icon，it's pwd is '/'. Default cwd is ~ is better.

what do you mean? I'm trying to look for a way to start gonvim from command line, e.g. to open in VS code, just run

code .

but not sure how to do it with gonvim

@jerrywang1981 on macOS you can add /Applications/goneovim.app/Contents/MacOS to your $PATH and then you will able to execute goneovim .. Of course you can /Applications/goneovim.app/Contents/MacOS/goneovim ..

ephien refers to what happens when you open Goneovim as an app bundle either from the Dock, Spotlight, Launchpad or the Application directory. In those cases $PWD is set to /

unfortunately /Applications/goneovim.app/Contents/MacOS/goneovim . does not set cwd to a current directory. It sets directory to ~.

@onsails Hi This is probably a design change before and after the following commit. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.

In relation to #325 and #337, I would like to change the current CWD setting specification to an approach where cwd is controlled by options.

Is there any workaround to this? Goneovim seems not to save all buffers in the current session and auto-session doesn't work. Neither does mksession, which cannot write in the root directory.

I tried adding vim.cmd('cd ~') to init.lua. It works in the console but not in Goneovim.

@dominikmayer Could you please tell me specifically the problem you are facing? (I understand that this issue itself is not an issue to the point that there is some kind of problem. However, I welcome you to report a related issue here.)

Tell me about the procedures and environmental conditions to reproduce or cause the problem you are facing.

After writing the comment I realized that I had excluded root in the auto-session config.

All I want to achieve is to load the last session on startup. In the terminal, auto-session loads the last session in the current working directory. Doesn't work on goneovim, though. I assume it's because the working directory is never root.

After long trials I found a workaround by adding SessionRestore to my init.lua:

if vim.g.goneovim then
  -- Restoring the last session once Vim is idle
  autocmd("VimEnter", {
    pattern = "*",
    command = "lua vim.defer_fn(function() vim.cmd('SessionRestore') end, 0)",
  })
end

I do such a configuration in my init.lua to implement this feature and it works well:

if vim.g.goneovim then
  vim.cmd('cd ~')
end
