Root Cause

Calling os.Chdir with a non-existent directory path, causing the current working directory to remain unchanged.

generic

中文

使用不存在的目录路径调用 os.Chdir，导致当前工作目录保持不变。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    if err := os.Chdir(path); err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("failed to change dir: %w", err) }
  2. 95% success 
    Use os.Stat to verify directory exists before chdir

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Working directory remains old, leading to file access issues

  2. 60% fail

    Relative path may still be invalid
