Max Brunsfeld d742c758bc Restructure communication from BackgroundScanner to LocalWorktree
The worktree no longer pulls the background snapshot from the background scanner.
Instead, the background scanner sends both snapshots to the worktree. Along with
these, it sends the path change sets.

Also, add randomized test coverage for the worktree UpdatedEntries events.

Zed

CI

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 LiveKit server and the foreman process supervisor:

    brew install livekit
    brew install foreman
    
  • Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory:

    cd ..
    git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev
    
  • Initialize submodules

    git submodule update --init --recursive
    
  • Set up a local zed database and seed it with some initial users:

    Create a personal GitHub token to run script/bootstrap once successfully. 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 specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for 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 the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/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.
