Working directory does not match my file

[Redeltaz]

Description

When I'm calling neovim by adding a path parameter, nvim-tree don't show the good directory, it only show the directory of where I executed the command.
It seem very basic but I've checked a lot of issues and other website posts, everyone just suggest to add the update_focused_file section with update_cwd, and it work, but not for me.
My config is not new, I've used it for a year and everything was ok until I reinstall my computer today, it doesn't work anymore.

Neovim version

NVIM v0.9.4
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1694285958

Operating system and version

Linux 6.5.6-arch2-1 x86_64

nvim-tree version

59e65d8

Clean room replication

require'nvim-tree'.setup {
     update_focused_file = {
         enable = true,
         update_cwd = true,
         ignore_list = {}
     },
     filters = {
         dotfiles = false
     },
     git = {
         enable = true,
         ignore = false
     }
 }

Steps to reproduce

1. go to your $HOME directory
2. nvim Document/randomDirectory

Expected behavior

I want nvim-tree to show the directory of the path that I pass as parameter when I call nvim, for exemple if I execute nvim /myDirectory I want nvim-tree to show only what is on /myDirectory, not the root directory of were the command is executed

Actual behavior

nvim-tree only show the directory of were the nvim /yourPath command is executed

nvim-tree does not do any magic on startup, only acting upon changes at runtime.

Take a look at Open At Startup for some recipes you can use.

For directories, I use Open For Directories And Change Neovim's Directory

Converting this to a discussion. We can reopen a bug if an issue arises.

strangely nothing of your suggestions worked. I had to add this line inside my nvim config : vim.cmd('cd %:h') so the working directory automatically change when I run nvim with a path argument.
It now work well but it's strange, I never had to do this before...

Which recipes didn't work? What happened?

I had to add this line inside my nvim config : vim.cmd('cd %:h')

Did vim.cmd.cd('%:h') work? Sounds like it might be a substitution issue.
