Switching between sessions clears harpoon entries

[sevi-kun]

Yes, this is harpoon2.

So, I use the session-lens and auto-session plugins from rmagatti to switch between my projects. But when doing so, all entries of harpoon are being cleared.

My neovim configuration is available here: https://github.com/sevi-kun/nvim

This could be due to your cwd changing. Changing the key function in the harpoon settings might help. The default is vim.uv.cwd().

This could be it. I will look into it as soon as I have a bit more time.

Unfortunately, custom keys are broken right now. Which might actually be the root cause for your issue. Might be worth trying the branch from #572

No... I tried the pr but my harpoon entries are still completely empty after switching sessions. Maybe the sessions plugin actually removes some entries? I hope I can look into the source code soon.

I also have a problem that may be associated with this issue:

• Using possession.nvim the harpoon list does not restore.
• When opening the project while being outside of the project folder through the nvim path argument, it also does not restore.
  The only way it works is by manually jumping into the folder and typing nvim .

same issue here, is there a way to save the harpoon list in a session file @ThePrimeagen ? already tried changing the key and it didn't help

[searleser97]

after taking a look at the code and understanding how harpoon is working, what worked for me was delaying the initialization of harpoon until the directory returned by vim.loop.cwd() is correctly updated by nvim-rooter (which in my case, happens after I select the session I want to open)
