FT specific work dir settings

[matthias-Q]

Hi,
I am using iron.nvim mainly for julia code. My problem is, that my neovim is in the repo root (ensured by nvim-rooter) and the source file is located for example in src/main.jl

If the Julia code includes relative imports (e.g. include('otherfile.jl')), then this file cannot be found because neovim is still in the repo root.

Is it possible to add a filetype specific option in iron.nvim to set the workdir before opening the REPL?

Hi, I'm also using iron.nvim for julia. I think you can try change the cmd of julia repl definition with code to set workdir, like this:

repl_definition = {
  julia = {
    command = {
      "julia",
      "--project",
      "-e",
      [[Base.Filesystem.cd("src")]],
      "-i",
    },
  },
},

This does not work. Iron starts and exits immediately, I cannot even read the error message.

It works for me:

Do you miss the -i option?

[matthias-Q]

No, I probably missed the -e

It works for now. I will close this after some testing. Thanks
