utop can be starting from either: - the directory of the opened buffer, or - the project-root directory (via project.el) This is useful if you have an `.ocamlinit` file in your project root. Because there is not a clear reason for setting a specific directory (no difference for utop other than `.ocamlinit`, that option has been omitted. Modeled after elpy-shell.el

This actually breaks completion when the directory is set to the project root. Will investigate more but if you have any ideas what might cause this issue, please let me know! Thanks |

Hi! I opened up #471 . I use
utop-modebut wanted to automatically load in my.ocamlinitfile at the root level of my project without having to pass it in explicitly using the-initflag. My solution is to enable a customization to start utop from the project root dir.Now when you set the variable
utop-starting-directory(possibly via customize) to'project-root,project.elis used to find the current buffer's project root. Thenutopis called from that directory. If the project cannot be found, an error is thrown.
