CWD not set when launching OpenCode — sessions not found

[romor001]

When the plugin launches OpenCode, the current working directory (CWD) is not set to the vault root. As a result, OpenCode cannot locate its session data, since it doesn't know which directory the sessions are stored in.

Expected behavior:
OpenCode should be started with CWD set to the vault root directory, so it can find and resume existing sessions.

Actual behavior:
OpenCode starts without a proper CWD, resulting in no access to previous sessions. Each launch appears to start fresh.

Environment:
• Plugin version: latest (via BRAT)
• Obsidian desktop on macOS
• OpenCode CLI installed globally

Suggested fix:
Ensure the child process spawning OpenCode explicitly sets cwd to the vault root path (available via this.app.vault.getRoot().vault.adapter.basePath or similar).

Hey @romor001,

This plugin actually sets the cwd to vault root. I'm not experiencing issues you're mentioning both on my mac and on my linux machine.

Can you explain how are you getting this issue (steps to reproduce), or show some screenshots? What are you getting from Obsidian Developer Console? This plugin outputs some debugging information there, maybe we'll see something useful.

I managed to reproduce this bug!
This seems to be an OpenCode issue that appears when using OC outside Git repository. I will explore this further, but in the meantime seems that you can work around it by simply creating a git repository in your vault's root directory:

cd Path/To/Your/Vault
git init

I actually do have a git repo initialized at the root of the vault.

And I managed to workaround the session issue by clicking on the hamburger menu and adding the vault folder as a project. Then the sessions appear in the list in the UI and also the agents can access the sessions.

Not sure if it is possible for the plugin to set the vault folder as a project in the OpenCode Desktop component.

The plugin is attempting to do it by both setting cwd for opencode server and then pointing the instance to the same directory via the URL. This part seems to be working as expected (the right paths are passed to OC), just that the OC sometimes doesn't create a project or doesn't register the session.

I was able to reproduce this with git repo now...

I confirmed that this is an OpenCode issue, already reported a few times:

• Direct /:dir/... routes do not register the project in the sidebar anomalyco/opencode#18943
• bug(app): blank sidebar panel when navigating directly to a project URL anomalyco/opencode#16837

Not much can be done about it from the plugin perspective (unless I wanted to ship my own UI, which I'm explicitly trying to avoid). Either they will fix it (PRs were posted), or OC will publish version 2.0 which is supposed to be a big refactor of project and session management.

Good to know where this is coming from and hoping it will be resolved soon on the OpenCode side.

I was experiencing the same issue too, and your tip about adding the vault root as a Project worked for me. Thanks :)
