Re: [ESS] ess-set-working-directory
hi Kevin, Rodney, I think the variable and setting you are looking for is: (setq ess-startup-directory 'default-directory) Best wishes, Stephen On Sun, Mar 31 2024, Kevin Coombes via ESS-help wrote: I don't know where this "feature" lives in the code. But it might help find it to know that it does the same thing in any git project or subversion project, even if it isn't an R package. Hopefully, someone can track it down, since I view it as a bug I want to remove, and not a feature.

Re: [ESS] ess-set-working-directory
I don't know where this "feature" lives in the code. But it might help find it to know that it does the same thing in any git project or subversion project, even if it isn't an R package. Hopefully, someone can track it down, since I view it as a bug I want to remove, and not a feature.

Re: [ESS] ess-set-working-directory
Oops… More details… (ess-version) "ess-version: 24.01.1 [] (loaded from /usr/local/emacs/29.2/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/lisp/)" emacs-version "29.2" When I have (setq ess-ask-for-ess-directory t) then it prompts me: but the prompted default is for the root of the R package rather than default-directory. What else would be helpful to know here? -- Rodney Sparapani, Associate Professor of Biostatistics, He/Him/His Vice President, Wisconsin Chapter of the American Statistical Association Institute for Health and Equity, Division of Biostatistics Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Campus If this is outside of working hours, then please respond when convenient.
