counsel-M-x make some lisp not work as expected

[seudut]

I have these code snippet in scratch buffer

(defun sd/test ()
  "fjoefjei"
  (interactive)
  (print (current-buffer))
  (setq-local default-directory "~/"))

(setq-local default-directory "~/temp")

(pwd)

I try to test using the function sd/test() to change to default-directory of current buffer.

The problem is that when I called the command sd/test from counsel-M-x, this function not works as expected. the default-directory isn't changed at all.

Bule if I called this command from M-x, it works well. the default-directory is changed to ~/

I also posted a question in stackovflow for this issue, because at that time I didn't find where the problem was.

This is a difficult issue. It was fixed (#760), but the fix was reverted because it messed up Projectile (#779).

Please test.

Thanks abo-abo, I have verified the fix. now it works well. Thanks.

One thing during my test, I deleted the ivy, and swipper folders under elpa, and installed them again from package-install, but looks like the ivy still doesn't contain your latest commit. So I just made local change as your 6519ecc commit to verify it.

So, do you know when the mepla will update usually to sync the latest packages changes?

MELPA usually updates in 4 hour windows. Which means the update can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the time of the commit.
