Doom-emacs: behavior of Switch Project on startup

[vikigenius]

I am struggling to switch project on startup.
By default emacs always seems to be cd-ing into ~/.emacs.d : I followed the issue on https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/309.

And according to it, it seems that doom is supposed to automatically cd into the root of the previous project you had open?

However, my dashboard always starts on ~/.emacs.d,

Even if i tried to execute the projectile-switch-project command and successfully switch the project and switch to the new workspace it created, the default directory still seems to be in ~/.emacs.d and browse project files is browsing the files in my emacs directory and not the project directory.

I'm seeing this issue as well.

I recently switched to a new mechanism for starting the dashboard ((setq initial-buffer-choice #'+doom-dashboard)), which re-initialized the dashboard (with a default pwd of ~/.emacs.d) everytime a new frame (or workspace+project) is opened.

The fix is now up on develop. Let me know if it solves the issue.

I'll keep this open until it hits master.

I tried the latest develop, and the behavior persists.

I can't find a wayland desktop recorder... If you need more steps to reproduce, just let me know.

@rphillips I've made a few big changes on develop to the dashboard and its default-directory management. Has it resolved this issue for you?

[rphillips]

it switches directories for me now correctly. The find file doesn't pop up automatically anymore - I felt that was nice. Thank you!

[hlissner]

As did I. It had to go, temporarily, to accommodate recent changes. I'll put it back in once I've figured out a good way to do so.

@rphillips Just an fyi: the find-file popup is back in (as of https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/commit/3578d433c2a2caaac60ebea86d8b9efadffd25a3)

thank you!
