   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • After upgrading to OpenCode v1.2.21, previous sessions disappear from the TUI session list. #16579: Sessions disappear from TUI session list after upgrading to a recent version (similar symptom, recently closed with a fix/workaround)
   • [BUG] session_list returns empty despite sessions existing in database #15108: session_list returns empty despite sessions existing in the database (same symptom)
   • session-list shows empty when --project-path equals current directory #15023: Session list shows empty in certain project path configurations (same symptom)

   In particular, #16579 covers a migration issue introduced around v1.2.21 that causes old sessions to become inaccessible — since you're on v1.2.24, this may be the same root cause. That issue includes diagnostic steps and a workaround worth trying.

   It would also help to fill in the Operating System and Terminal fields, and to provide more specific reproduction steps (e.g. whether this happens in a git repo, after an upgrade, on first launch, etc.) so maintainers can triage more effectively.

   I added the os and terminal, and the issue persists even in 1.2.24. A session started here is not stored/accessible

   I am experiencing the same but only in web interface. I cannot get back to old sessions, list is empty. Surprisingly when I click Load More I can see sessions being loaded in the browser dev tools on the network tab but they are not shown. No JS errors there.
   However in TUI all sessions are visible.

   Windows 11 also exhibits the same issue: in versions 1.2.20 to 1.2.24, all old sessions on the opencode web platform become inaccessible.

   I am experiencing the same issue on Windows 11 with OpenCode 1.2.24.

   Environment:

   • OS: Windows 11
   • OpenCode version: 1.2.24 (Desktop app)
   • Interface: Web UI

   Symptoms:

   • Session list is empty in Web UI
   • Cannot see any historical sessions after upgrading
   • New sessions created also cannot be found/switched back to
   • Database shows 61 sessions exist but UI displays 0

   Database verification (confirmed sessions exist):

   Database: C:\Users\izeiw\.local\share\opencode\opencode.db
   Total sessions: 61
   project_id: global
   workspace: exists (1 workspace)
   

   What I've tried:

   1. Updated workspace_id for all sessions (was NULL after migration)
   2. Unified directory paths to "/"
   3. Created missing session storage files

   None of these fixes resolved the UI display issue. The sessions exist in the database but the Web UI still shows an empty list.

   Please let me know if you need any additional diagnostic information.

   Correction: I am using the Desktop App (not Web UI) on Windows 11.

   To clarify:

   • OpenCode Desktop App (installed via winget)
   • Version: 1.2.24
   • Session list shows empty in the Desktop App UI

   Sorry for the confusion in my previous comment.

    Just experienced the same, my session list is empty after restarting OC (TUI) via the opencode command in CLI.
    I can still access previous prompts via the up arrow.

    On MacOS
    Version 1.2.24

    I also encountered the same issue. The GUI only has the last conversation record, and all others are lost; the TUI didn't load any conversation records in the same workspace.

    Correction: Environment 2 was Windows 11 (not 10), with existing system but fresh OpenCode install.

    📝 补充说明（来自另一台电脑的用户测试）

    测试环境：

    • 另一台全新的电脑
    • 新安装的 OpenCode
    • 系统平台：Windows 11（待确认）
    • OpenCode 版本：待确认

    遇到的问题：

    ❌ 无法启用新会话

    1. 看不到历史会话 - 新安装的 OpenCode 无法看到之前的会话历史
    2. 新会话丢失上下文 - 新建会话后，上一轮对话内容消失
    3. 卡在单会话局面 - 只能在一个会话中继续对话，无法开启新的独立会话

    影响：

    • 无法进行多线并行的任务
    • 无法测试不同场景的对话
    • 每次新开会话都要重新说明背景

    期望行为：

    • ✅ 能看到历史会话列表
    • ✅ 新会话保留独立的对话历史
    • ✅ 可以在多个会话间切换

    这是否与会话存储机制有关？ 求官方解答！🙏

    Hit by this on v1.14.39 (macOS, TUI). Different root cause from the child-session dilution in #16270 and the directory-scoping issue @CasualDeveloper found in #13877.

    Root cause: The path column was added to the session table at some point, but existing rows were never backfilled. Old sessions have path = NULL, sessions created after ~v1.14.29 have path = ''. The list query matches on path and NULL != '' in SQL, so pre-v1.14.29 sessions are invisible.
    -- my database:
    SELECT CASE WHEN path IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'empty string' END, COUNT(*), MIN(version), MAX(version)
    FROM session GROUP BY (path IS NULL);
    -- NULL | 520 | 1.4.9 | 1.14.19
    -- empty string | 85 | 1.14.29 | 1.14.39

    Workaround (fixed it immediately for me):
    cp ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db.bak
    sqlite3 ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db "UPDATE session SET path = '' WHERE path IS NULL;"

    Proper fix would be a migration that backfills path = '' where NULL on upgrade.

    @codyanthony850 Good catch. I hit this locally too, and backfilling path fixed the inconsistent session picker behavior for me.

    One nuance: UPDATE session SET path = '' WHERE path IS NULL is only safe when session.directory is the project worktree root. For sessions created in subdirs or under the global project, '' flattens them to the root and changes picker behavior.

    The safer migration is to backfill path from the project-relative directory:

    path = relative(project.worktree, session.directory)
    

    Examples:

    • project root session -> path = ''
    • repo subdir session -> path = 'packages/opencode'
    • global session under a home subdirectory, with worktree /, should keep that relative subpath rather than become ''

    After backfilling all rows this way, old and new sessions behaved consistently for me.
