sync_root_with_cwd = true not working

[AlexvZyl]

Description

When I open a file and Neovim changes cwd, nvim-tree does not follow.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.9.0-dev-565+gd215dae0e0
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

Linux archlinux 5.15.85-1-lts #1 SMP Thu, 22 Dec 2022 06:22:00 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

nvim-tree version

9e4c395

Minimal config

vim.g.loaded_netrw = 1
vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 1

require 'nvim-tree'.setup {
    sync_root_with_cwd = true
}

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim ~
2. :e ~/.config/nvim/lua/alex/init.lua
3. :NvimTreeToggle

Expected behavior

Nvim-tree should open up to where Neovim cwd is.

Actual behavior

Nvim-tree opens up in the home directory (where neovim was started originally).

I'm not quite sure I understand:

:e ~/.config/nvim/lua/alex/init.lua won't change global or local cwd. You'd need to cd .config/nvim/lua for the tree to change directory.

Apologies for the noise, this was completely my mistake.

No worries. You might like to try out :help update_focused_file for more automated changes.
