Creating a terminal doesn't open in correct folder

[MRichards99]

Upon testing the libcloudspawner, I've noticed that when creating a terminal in Jupyterhub, the terminal starts in /tmp by default, rather than the folder I've specified in c.LibcloudSpawner.notebook_dir

I've noticed on the VM spawned, that the systemd file shows the WorkingDirectory is set to /tmp, perhaps this is a starting point for you?

This is using libcloudspawner 1.3.0.0rc1, Jupyterhub 1.0.0

Dear @MRichards99
I know that this information in a very vert late and probably useless, but...

If you configure libcloudspawner with this parameter in jupyterhub_config.py

c.LibcloudSpawner.notebookargs = "--notebook-dir / --preferred-dir \$HOME"

JupyterLab will be opened in user home directory BUT user will be allowed to browse /. This is useful for allowing user to use SCRATCH and shared folders that's not in user homedir.

Did you finally use this spawner for any time ?

Best regards,
