When using helm-projectile, helm-projectile-find-file is broken
after switching buffers, because all helm commands are run in the
context of a global helm-projectile buffer, incorrect cache values
are return from functions like (projectile-project-root)
My particular issue has been that after switching to a new project, or
moving between windows, helm-projectile-find-file has opened helm
with a list of files from the previous project.
I was able to fix this initially by adding
(projectile-reset-cached-project-root) into the
:candidates for helm-source-projectile-files-list
but that would seem to break the point of the project caching that was
recently introduced.
By executing helm commands in a separate buffer for each project, we
are able to take advantage of performance boosts from buffer-local caches
https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/pull/1149 introduced buffer-local caching of certain project variables, which in turn has caused issues with other commands not working properly. One example is https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/pull/1151
