Lately, I've been finding Rust-analyzer unusably slow when editing large files (like `editor_tests.rs`, or `integration_tests.rs`). When I profile the Rust-analyzer process, I see that it sometimes saturates up to 10 cores processing a queue of code actions requests. Additionally, sometimes when collaborating on large files like these, we see long delays in propagating buffer operations. I'm still not sure why this is happening, but whenever I look at the server logs in Datadog, I see that there are remote `CodeActions` and `DocumentHighlights` messages being processed that take upwards of 30 seconds. I think what may be happening is that many such requests are resolving at once, and the responses are taking up too much of the host's bandwidth. I think that both of these problems are caused by us sending way too many code action and document highlight requests to rust-analyzer. This PR adds a simple debounce between changing selections and making these requests. From my local testing, this debounce makes Rust-analyzer *much* more responsive when moving the cursor around a large file like `editor_tests.rs`.
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.
