Description

In OpenCode Desktop, tools are executed as if the working directory is / (system root), not the current project directory. This breaks tools that rely on relative paths (e.g. .opencode/tool/**). In OpenCode CLI the same tools run correctly.

Plugins

no plugins

OpenCode version

CLI - 1.1.20, Desktop - 1.1.25

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an empty project folder.
  2. In the project folder create the tool files:
    .opencode/tool/python-add.ts
import {tool} from "@opencode-ai/plugin"
import path from "path"
export default tool({
  description: "Add two numbers using Python",
  args: {
    a: tool.schema.number().describe("First number"),
    b: tool.schema.number().describe("Second number"),
  },
  async execute(args) {
    const cwd = process.cwd()
    const script_path = path.resolve(".opencode/tool/add.py")
    const p = Bun.spawn(
      ["python3", script_path, String(args.a), String(args.b)],
      { stdout: "pipe", stderr: "pipe" }
    )
    const stdout = await new Response(p.stdout).text()
    const stderr = await new Response(p.stderr).text()
    const exitCode = await p.exited
    return [
      "===TOOL_RAW===",
      JSON.stringify({ cwd, script_path, stdout, stderr, exitCode }, null, 2),
      "===/TOOL_RAW===",
    ].join("\n")
  }
})

.opencode/tool/add.py

import sys
a = float(sys.argv[1])
b = float(sys.argv[2])
print(a + b)
  1. Open this project in OpenCode Desktop.
  2. Run the prompt:
    Use python-add tool (provide any arguments) and print verbatim everything between TOOL_RAW markers
  3. Observe the tool output:
    • Desktop sets cwd to /
    • script_path resolves to /.opencode/tool/add.py
    • Python fails with "No such file or directory"

Screenshot and/or share link

✅ Expected behavior (OpenCode CLI)

Tools run with cwd set to the project directory, so .opencode/tool/** resolves correctly.

❌ Actual behavior (OpenCode Desktop)

Tools run with cwd set to / (system root). Relative path lookups fail, so the tool cannot be found.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #7143: Desktop Glob searches /xxx path from root directory instead of project directory - appears to be the same underlying issue affecting file operations
  • #6697: Session switching doesn't change working directory context - broader issue affecting all file tools and shell execution with incorrect cwd
  • #8389: EACCES permission denied, mkdir /.opencode - symptom showing tools trying to write to root directory instead of project

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

@iliferov I think the problem here is that you can't use process.cwd(), you'll need to use ctx.directory (which won't be available until tomorrow's release: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/commit/a8c18dba8205d7707a46ec0859db672370be8963)

Using path.resolve will not work on Windows and mixed paths (native, git bash, ..)

#6763 normalization is needed for relative and cross-drive mixed paths

This issue is closed however opencode desktop app on mac still having this problem. When model doesn't provide the path to a tool like grep or glob, the tool defaults to "/" and searches the whole file system, which causes a lot of file permission requests and a lot of cpu usage.

@iliferov I think the problem here is that you can't use process.cwd(), you'll need to use ctx.directory (which won't be available until tomorrow's release: a8c18db)

I confirm it works fine with context.directory. So from 1.1.49 the approach to write a custom tool mentioned in docs works as expected in OpenCode Desktop.

Replaced

const cwd = process.cwd()
const script_path = path.resolve(".opencode/tool/add.py")

to

const script_path = path.join(context.directory, ".opencode/tools/add.py")
