Issue with --cdw=current in SSH

[gzagatti]

In my local machine, my home folder is /home/foo. In directory /home/foo/xy, I am able to run the following command:

kitty @ launch --location=hsplit --cwd=current

which opens a new window in /home/foo/xy

I then log into a server

kitty +kitten ssh myserver

In the server my username is bar, so my home folder is /home/bar. In directory /home/bar/ab, I attempt the splitting command again:

kitty @ launch --location=hsplit --cwd=current

However, this raises an error:

cd: can't cd to /home/foo/xy

Now, let's say I start all over again. But this time, I am located in /home in my local machine. After I log into the server and move to directory /home/bar/ab, I issue the splitting command again:

kitty @ launch --location=hsplit --cwd=current

This time no error is raised, but the new split window ends up in the server in /home.

I would expect that with --cwd=current, the new window in the server would be opened in the directory that I am located in the server. Not the directory that I was in when I run the kitten ssh. Am I doing something wrong?

launch will open a new window in your local computer. if you want automatic windows opened on the server, use the ssh kitten. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/ssh/

After a lot of experimenting, I have finally nailed the problem.

My config file had shell_integration no-rc no-cursor. Previously I had problems with the rc part which led me to disable it.

Now, after some testing I don't see anything breaking anymore so I changed to shell_integration no-cursor. The launch command works as expected. When invoked from the server, it will open the new window exactly in the same location as the server without raising any errors.

Thanks again for your help.
