Describe the bug

When using vim /share/note/notebook.md -c 'cd /share/note and then open mru list, no recent files in /share/note exist.

I add some log to print the cwd in mru list and found it is not the expected one as :pwd.

Reproduce the bug

1. Open terminial and cd to any directory A.
2. Open file in another directory B and cd to B in vim arguments: vim /B/test.txt -c 'cd /B'. Make sure B is not a sub dir of A.
3. Call CocList mru in vim. /B/test.txt is not there.
4. Call cd /B in vim.
5. Call CocList mrc again. /B/test.txt is in the list.

Can't reproduce with vim 9.1 and nvim. Here's my steps:

1. mkdir -p ~/A and mkdir -p ~/B
2. cd ~/A
3. vim B/test4.txt -c "cd ~/B"
4. CocList mru, B/test4.txt exists

3. vim B/test4.txt -c "cd ~/B"

Missing the ~/ before B, which create a folder under current folder A. C-g will print ~/A/B/test4.txt.
Using vim ~/B/test4.txt -c "cd ~/B" instead.

[fannheyward]

Reproduced. The core issue is workspace root detecting.

vim ~/B/test4.txt -c "cd ~/B" still uses ~/A as cwd, by default, mru only lists files that under current cwd, that's why test4 is missing. You can use :CocList mru -A to list all.

coc.nvim didn't change the root at cmd -c "cd ~/B". Looks like vim didn't fire DirChanged on the cmd.

coc.nvim/src/core/documents.ts

Lines 84 to 86 in 26d7db1

	events.on('DirChanged', cwd => {
	this._cwd = normalizeFilePath(cwd)
	}, null, this.disposables)

@fannheyward How about init this._cwd with getcwd()?

[fannheyward]

Yes, the _cwd already inited with cwd.

[fannheyward]

This issue only occurs in vim, nvim will fire DirChanged as expected. Closing this as it's upstream issue.
