:Neotree reveal dir=??? should not ask to change cwd

[cseickel]

If the user explicitly passed a directory to use as root, the command should not attempt to change the cwd automatically.

I see what's wrong, you found a bug. If you answer n to that prompt it would work correctly. The problem here is that the check for whether a reveled file is in the current working directory does not check the directory you requested as the root, it only checks what is your current working directory. I'll open a new issue for this.

I believe the problem is the path is not updated set when it read:

neo-tree.nvim/lua/neo-tree/command/init.lua

Line 210 in 230ff11

local cwd = state.path

The path is only updated later in the do_show_or_focus method.

I find I get decent behavior from this workaround

function open_tree(args)
  local manager = require("neo-tree.sources.manager")
  local reveal_file = manager.get_path_to_reveal()

  if args.dir then
    -- Hack to work around a bug in neo-tree where it changes path too late for reveal
    state = manager.get_state(args.source, nil, nil)
    manager.navigate(state, args.dir, reveal_file, nil, false)
  end

  require("neo-tree.command").execute({
    dir = args.dir,
    source = args.source,
    reveal_file = reveal_file,
    reveal_force_cwd = true,
  })
end
