claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Sidebar session grouping uses git root instead of session subdirectory [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by investigating and adjusting the logic that determines the grouping of sessions in the sidebar, potentially involving changes to how the application resolves the current working directory (cwd) and its relationship to the git repository root.

Guidance

• Review the code responsible for populating the sidebar groups, focusing on how it handles sessions opened in subdirectories of a git repository.
• Verify that the ~/.claude/projects/ data layer correctly stores session information under the cwd-specific directory, as noted in the issue.
• Investigate the difference in behavior between the data layer storage and the sidebar display to identify the point of discrepancy.
• Consider the related issue #51539 and whether resolving one issue might impact the other.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the application's codebase, but the investigation should involve examining functions or methods that handle session grouping and directory resolution.

Notes

The solution may involve adjusting the application's logic to correctly identify and display the subdirectory structure within the git repository, potentially requiring changes to how the application navigates and resolves directory paths.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually adjusting the session storage or display logic to correctly group sessions under their respective subdirectories until a permanent fix can be implemented, as the root cause seems related to the application's internal logic rather than an external dependency or version issue.
