how do I write a projectile-switch-action that changes the current working directory to the chosen project's root dir?

Question

I want that when I choose a project from the list presented by projectile-switch-project, projectile changes the current working directory to the chosen project's root directory.

I tried this:

;; cd into dir i want, including git-root
  (defun cd-dwim ()
      (cd (projectile-project-root)))
  (setq projectile-switch-project-action 'cd-dwim)

Did not work. It projectile-project-root does not receive the new path from the project I just chose.

I'd love if I was able to write something like this:

(setq projectile-switch-project-action 
'projectile-get-the-root-directory-of-the-project-I-just-chose)

Is it possible?

The default action is projectile-find-file. Change it to projectile-dired, and whenever you switch project, you get into a dired buffer of the root of that project:

(setq projectile-switch-project-action 'projectile-dired)
