hi Kevin, Rodney,

I think the variable and setting you are looking for is:

(setq ess-startup-directory 'default-directory)

Best wishes,

Stephen

I don't know where this "feature" lives in the code. But it might help find it to know that it does the same thing in any git project or subversion
project, even if it isn't an R package.

Hopefully, someone can track it down, since I view it as a bug I want to
remove, and not a feature.

Best,
  Kevin

Hi ESS-help:

When I am working on an R script that is not part of an R package, then ess-set-working-directory does what would be expected, i.e., on a launch of R it does setwd() to the buffer’s default-directory.
However, when I am in, say, the demo directory of an R package,
then it doesn’t.  It places me at the root of the R package.
I can’t seem to figure out where this is taking place.
It must have something to do with ess-r-package.el.
But I am stumped about how to make it stop.
Any advice is much appreciated.  Thanks
