Ok - that should rule out those changes, however it may be a sign of things to come (or maybe not - its just the discussions here made me think of what I’m seeing). I am running the image from the command line on OSX Sierra, using 64 bit. If I run System reporter it nicely shows the problem

I've just realised an important difference which maybe accentuates this thread - my image is actually a v7 vm with a Pharo 6 image and the iceberg update instructions that Esteban sent around. Is it possible the working dir changes are in that new vm? If so, the problem I'm getting might be

Guys - I don’t know if this is useful input, but I’ve just noticed a weird issue with the default directory in a new Pharo6 image (probably related to this thread). I’m trying to write my first baselineOf: metacello method - and have been confused that when testing it out, I get a walkback

Thanks for the detailed explanation Rajula. I think it makes perfect sense to separate working and image directories from each other. What you didn't mention is how the current working directory is resolved when an image is not started from the command line but by using the operating systems

Rajula, thanks for your write-up. As the person who pushed Rajula to send his email I feel I should respond. While I'm in favour of Rajula's proposed changes, scripting in particular will be much easier, I think we need to make the change generally known as it will not always be obvious, e.g. at
