[RFC] Fix new tab not inheriting local working directory. #5227

Could you add a test for the bug you're fixing?
I think that may be an interesting refactor to look at, but this PR is fine as is to fix the immediate issue. |
|
@jamessan I have been trying to, but whenever I add some test the entire test system gets stuck indefinitely on an unrelated test (on idea which one, I only know it displays just a few green bubbles). Even if the test is something trivial like describe('Local directory gets inherited', function()
it('by tabs', function()
eq('asdf', 'asdf')
end)
end)Am I missing something here? EDIT: If I make the test fail (like changing one of the |

That almost always means a Press-Enter prompt is showing, though the snippet you pasted doesn't have anything that should cause that. But you could try adding |

It feels like the test framework is held together by duct tape and chewing gum. The tests are running now, but at least on my system I couldn't find any rhyme or reason as to why it would get stuck, with or without |
|
The press enter issue is ugly, and we can fix it eventually, but other than that I don't know what you mean. It's a fancy BDD framework wrapping an RPC API, offering the ability to test actual screen layout. Seems sophisticated to me :) |

Maybe it's just my system, but testing seems to get randomly stuck. Maybe I was just imaging the tests to get stuck because of my changes, since I wasn't able to find any pattern to it today. I recorded a This is after I pushed my commit, it's the same set of tests that has run successfully on the CI. |

That doesn't seem to work, cmake is being a pain. I had to use this: |

What do I do with that snippet? |
When a new tabpage gets created it will copy the local working directory of the previous one, if there is any.

Verified test. Thanks @HiPhish |

When a new tabpage gets created it will copy the local working directory of the previous one, if there is any. Fixes #5082
This is a simple one-line fix, but there is another way to go at this: when a new tab gets allocated we could pass a reference to another tab (i.e. the current tab in our case) to the allocation function
alloc_tabpage. If there is no other tab we passNULL. Then the function can copy members from the old tab to the new tab. This is how new windows are created. However, that would mean changing the signature of the function and adjusting every call to it in the codebase. There are only two calls to it, both insrc/nvim/window.c, so the change is not very invasive. What should I do?
