Always show root dir

[jrock2004]

So if I open a file in a sub folder and open Neo-tree, the only folder it showing is the current one I am in. How can I change this? Here is my config?

return {
  "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
  opts = {
    close_if_last_window = true,
    enable_git_status = true,
    enable_diagnostics = true,
    filesystem = {
      filtered_items = {
        hide_dotfiles = false,
      },
      follow_current_file = false,
    },
    window = {
      mappings = {
        ["<C-x>"] = "open_split",
        ["<C-v>"] = "open_vsplit",
      },
    },
  },
}

It will use your current working directory of the tab by default if you open in a sidebar, or the cwd of the window if you open netrw style. Do you have another plugin that is automatically setting your CWD to that of the file?

Did you ever find the fix? I have this issue. I always shows a few folders above, but constantly changes the root directory when i switch files.

You must have autochdir turned on or a plugin like rooter that automatically changes your cwd.

For anyone who needs a solution for this, I finally took the time to fix this. So when I toggle neotree this is the code I execute

  local wk = require 'which-key'

  wk.register {
    ['<leader>e'] = {
      function()
        local lspconfig = require 'lspconfig'
        local root_patterns = { '.git' }
        local root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern(unpack(root_patterns))(vim.fn.expand '%:p')

        require('neo-tree.command').execute { toggle = true, dir = root_dir }
      end,
      'Explorer',
    },
  }
