Autoenv replacing cd breaks things that cd

[jennifgcrl]

Platform

• macos
• zsh 5.9
• brew
• 0.4.0

Describe the bug

If you have things like, e.g., . script where script cd's into a dir, it doesn't cd into the dir

Expected behavior

it cd's into the dir

Additional context

fixed with AUTOENV_PRESERVE_CD=1

Thanks for the report! Do you have an exact reproduction? I tried to reproduce with the following:

Contents of ~/autoenv/script:

cd ~/autoenv
. ./activate.sh
# . /opt/homebrew/opt/autoenv/activate.sh # Fails in this case also

echo 'SUBDIR'
cd ./dir
ls
echo ''

echo 'ROOT DIR'
cd /
ls
echo ''

cd ~/autoenv

Contents of ~/autoenv/dir/.env:

echo 'CD IN'

In ~/autoenv, I run:

 $ . ./script
SUBDIR
CD IN

ROOT DIR
Applications	Users		cores		home		sbin		var
Library		Volumes		dev		opt		tmp
System		bin		etc		private		usr

On my system with ZSH 5.8.1 and macOS 12.6.8 and autoenv v0.4.0 (both Git and Brew install) it seems to work.

Is there an error message or does it just not print anything and not cd? Could you show the output of \type builtin?

For me cd with no args doesn't do anything - should be equivalent to cd ~. Bug appears to be introduced in 231791ae885c16380c8cab4a35827ec63c9d6909. Ubuntu 24.04, zsh 5.9.

Thanks for the extra info! I've reverted that commit in #255 (0c6a4c6ef389c490bf0179de66e216d0ca909ec9). It should be accessible with brew install autoenv --HEAD. I'll find some time later today to properly debug that

i can also confirm this behaviour @calliecameron described, with macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 (24E263) and zsh 5.9 (arm64-apple-darwin24.0).

this fixes it for me -- any update or progress from the debug side?

I confirm the behavio described by @calliecameron - cd without any argument does nothing, I expect to be back to $HOME
