Root directory search should start at the current file, not CWD

[LorenzBischof]

Currently the root directory is evaluated from the CWD where vim is executed and not the file path itself. Is there a reason for this?

The following function expects a filename:

codesettings.nvim/lua/codesettings/util.lua

Line 33 in d1b18b5

function M.get_root(fname)

No filename is provided:

codesettings.nvim/lua/codesettings/util.lua

Line 74 in d1b18b5

local root = M.get_root()

Which always results in CWD being used:

codesettings.nvim/lua/codesettings/util.lua

Line 50 in d1b18b5

return vim.fs.root(fname or vim.env.PWD or vim.uv.cwd(), root_patterns)

As far as I can tell, the default behavior is similar, if it cannot find a file path:
neovim/neovim#34208

Is there a reason you are not using vim.fs.root(0, patterns)?

I see someone has already reported this, however I propose we change the default: #29

I think this sounds fine.

My personal workflow is to open the project directory, then fuzzy find files from there. Reading through the docs again it sound like your proposed change would satisfy both use cases.

Let me know if you'd like to submit a PR, if not I can get to it later today.

Great! Thanks for the project and also the quick reply. Absolutely no rush, because I can override the root dir. I'll have a look tomorrow. Do you think we still need the custom root dir override then?

[mrjones2014]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't see a good reason to remove it, it might be useful for some people if they need it.
