How to run on_select in files picker?

[itsonlyjames]

The below works for picker.projects where on_select runs and cd's into the corresponding project directory.

{
  "<leader>P",
  function()
    Snacks.picker.projects({
      on_select = function(path)
        vim.cmd("cd " .. path)
        vim.notify("Changed directory to " .. path)
      end,
    })
  end,
  desc = "Projects",
}

I'd like to do the same for my dashboard config item, where on_select then cd's into the config directory, however this doesn't work?

{
  icon = " ",
  key = "c",
  desc = "Config",
  action = function()
    Snacks.picker.files({
      cwd = vim.fn.stdpath("config"),
      on_select = function(path)
        vim.cmd("cd " .. path)
        vim.notify("Changed directory to " .. path)
      end,
    })
  end,
}

Thank you for your help!

Warning

There is no on_select callback.

files = {
  confirm = function(picker, item) --[[Same as `actions.confirm`]]
    vim.fn.chdir(picker:dir())
    -- For most pickers, the default `confirm` action is `jump`
    picker:action 'jump'
  end,
}

Thank you @drowning-cat.
This is different from my example in that projects uses on_select and files uses confirm, correct? Or ought I update projects to use confirm also? Thanks.

You should use confirm for the projects picker, but it is one of the pickers that has a different confirm action (see sources.lua), so the actual code will be:

Snacks.picker.projects({
  confirm = function(picker, item)
    picker:action 'load_session'
  end,
})

[drowning-cat]

But load_session changes the dir by default, so you don't even need to create an action for that.

I don't like the default behavior of the projects picker confirm action because it messes with the whole Neovim current working directory. I changed it to

confirm = function(_, item)
              vim.cmd.tcd(Snacks.picker.util.dir(item))
              Snacks.picker.pick("files", {
                cwd = item.file,
              })
            end,

and only use the projects picker in a new Neovim tab page, so every tab page has its own current working directory.

Seems as though it cd's by default!
As simple as Snacks.picker.projects().
It didn't cd by default when I first set it up, so I wonder if something changed recently.
Nevertheless, thank you!
