nvim-tree will open in the root directory, but not the current directory.

[FlawlessCasual17]

Is there something wrong with my key binds. Why won't nvim-tree open in the current directory like I configured it to?

-- current directory
local cwd = vim.uv.cwd()
-- root directory
local root = LazyVim.root()

local ntree_api = require('nvim-tree.api').tree
local function open_at_root() ntree_api.toggle({ path = root }) end
local function open_at_cwd() ntree_api.toggle({ path = cwd }) end

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>e', open_at_root, opts('Explorer nvim-tree (root)'))

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>E', open_at_cwd, opts('Explorer nvim-tree (cwd)'))

It looks like cwd is set only once, at startup.

Changing to this worked:

local function open_at_cwd() ntree_api.toggle({ path = vim.uv.cwd() }) end

Thank you, @alex-courtis this helped me a lot.
