bug: how to exclude the current directory (as empty buffer) on session restore

[xuanhung1509]

Did you check docs and existing issues?

• [X] I have read all the persistence.nvim docs
• [X] I have searched the existing issues of persistence.nvim
• [X] I have searched the existing issues of plugins related to this issue

Neovim version (nvim -v)

NVIM v0.9.0

Operating system/version

Linux Mint 21.1 Vera

Describe the bug

Suppose I have a single buffer

However, on restore, it also creates an empty buffer for the directory, which is not what I expect (the buffer to the left of App.tsx)

I've tried to exclude "curdir" from options but it doesn't work either. Actually, even if I set options to nil, it still functions as default.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open and edit a file
2. Save the file and quit
3. Open and restore session

Expected Behavior

It should not create an empty buffer for current directory on restoring

Repro

No response

Must be something in your config. Never heard anyone having such an issue before

@xuanhung1509 did you ever track this down? I'll try to take a look otherwise since this happens to me, too.

As far as I can tell, this has sth to do with the distro. The above issue exists in NvChad, but if I install onto LunarVim, it seems to work fine.

It's present in Astronvim as well, so that's useful info. Thanks!

I am encountering this issue in LazyVim as well. I did switch from NeoTree to mini.files but other than that my config is pretty stock LazyVim. Driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to stop it!
