When editing rust code, the project diagnostics view sometimes fails to
update, so that you have to close the view and re-open it to see the
correct state.
This PR fixes one possible cause of that problem. There was an async
step in between *receiving* diagnostics from the language server and
updating the diagnostics, due to an async call to
`LspAdapter::process_diagnostics`. This could cause the following
sequence of events to happen:
1. Rust-analyzer sends us new diagnostics for a file `a.rs`
2. We call `process_diagnostics` with those diagnostics
3. Rust-analyzer sends us a `WorkDoneProgress` message, indicating that
the "flycheck" (aka `cargo check`) process has completed
4. We update the project diagnostics view due to this message.
5. The `process_diagnostics` call for `a.rs` completes
6. 💥 We have the new diagnostics for `a.rs`, but do not update the
project diagnostics view again.
This PR fixes this bug by simply making `process_diagnostics`
synchronous. There is no I/O or expensive computation happening in that
method. If we need to make it asynchronous in the future, we need to
introduce a queue that ensures that `publishDiagnostics` and
`workDoneProgress` messages are processed serially.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug where the project diagnostics view would sometimes fail to
update properly when using Rust-analyzer.
Zed
Welcome to Zed, a lightning-fast, collaborative code editor that makes your dreams come true.
Development tips
Dependencies
-
Install Postgres.app and start it.
-
Install the
LiveKitserver and theforemanprocess supervisor:brew install livekit brew install foreman -
Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory and install it's dependencies:
cd .. git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev cd zed.dev && npm install npm install -g vercel -
Return to Zed project directory and Initialize submodules
cd zed git submodule update --init --recursive -
Set up a local
zeddatabase and seed it with some initial users:Create a personal GitHub token to run
script/bootstraponce successfully: the token needs to have an access to private repositories for the script to work (repoOAuth scope). Then delete that token.GITHUB_TOKEN=<$token> script/bootstrap
Testing against locally-running servers
Start the web and collab servers:
foreman start
If you want to run Zed pointed at the local servers, you can run:
script/zed-with-local-servers
# or...
script/zed-with-local-servers --release
Dump element JSON
If you trigger cmd-alt-i, Zed will copy a JSON representation of the current window contents to the clipboard. You can paste this in a tool like DJSON to navigate the state of on-screen elements in a structured way.
Licensing
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
Wasm Plugins
Zed has a Wasm-based plugin runtime which it currently uses to embed plugins. To compile Zed, you'll need to have the wasm32-wasi toolchain installed on your system. To install this toolchain, run:
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
Plugins can be found in the plugins folder in the root. For more information about how plugins work, check the Plugin Guide in crates/plugin_runtime/README.md.
