opencode web - thinks it is in root (/) path #6336
Description
Description
I have the issue that while opencode recognises the folder that we run (eg we run opencode from folder /opt/myproject) , the web version thinks it is run from root. This behavior exists in all opencode versions -from 1.0.185+
To work in a project from webUi I must always issue the command to opencode (web) chat change to folder /opt/myproject.
Note (this might help): I noticed that when I open opencode web from the terminal ,sometimes for about a split second, it shows the correct folder but it instantly changes to "/".
In the community base appimage of 1.0.185 (https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/opencode-AppImage-Enhanced/releases
) there is the option to "open project" in the lower left panel -right after the connect provider. This would make things easier.
OpenCode version
1.0.185-1.0.207 (all linux versions)
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to your project folder eg /opt/myproject
- Run command opencode
- opencode terminal correctly shows project path as /opt/myproject
- Open WebUI (control-p)
- Ask WebUI to list files in the current project path. It responds that it is in root (/) folder
The same thing happens if I run command "opencode web".

Some extra information that might or might not help...
Results for /init command :
-If I run the terminal version of opencode in /opt/myproject then it creates the file /opt/myproject/AGENTS.md normally.
-If I run /init from the webUI (even after I do a cd /opt/myproject/ ) the AGENTS.md is created on root /AGENTS.md (which could be DANGEROUS)

Just another observation. When I have both TUI and WebUI open they are syncronised (in WebUI I see what is happening to TUI . But, webUi still think he is in root folder (=if I enter a command in TUI and WebUI it will be applied to different folders)

I encounter the same issue on macOS (M4).

Just adding my 2 cents here after experiencing this issue this morning as well while prototyping something: I noticed that if you ping the server using curl, it does appear to know what folder it's in even when the web ui still thinks it's in the home folder.
In my case,
/root/projectis where I'm trying to start Opencode;directoryappears to hold the correct location. Given thatdirectoryis pointing to the correct starting location hopefully it's a simple fix since the data is already there.foertel commentedon Feb 8, 2026

Same issue on linux with v1.2.1
Just installed opencode with curl command. Went to my project directory, and ran "opencode web". In the browsers, it shows the root folder.

My workaround is to do a git init in that directory and restart opencode on a different port. Then it seems to work.
