Allow following participants who aren't in the same project (#2993)
The goal of this PR is to make Following more intuitive.

### Old Behavior

Previously, following was scoped to a project. In order to follow
someone in a given window, the window needed to contain a shared
project, and the leader needed to be present in the project. Otherwise,
following failed.

### New Behavior

* You can always follow **any** participant in the current call, in any
pane of any window.
* When following someone in a project that you're both collaborating in,
it works the same as before.
* When following someone in an unshared project, or a project that they
don't have open, you'll only get updates about the leader's views that
don't belong to a project, such as channel notes views. When the leader
focuses a file in a different project, you'll get the "follow $LEADER to
their active project" indicator

### Todo

* [x] Change db schema and RPC protocol so a project id isn't required
for following
* [x] Change client to allow following into non-project items regardless
of the leader's project
* [x] Assign colors to users in a way that doesn't require users to be
in a shared project.

Zed

CI

Welcome to Zed, a lightning-fast, collaborative code editor that makes your dreams come true.

Development tips

Dependencies

  • Install Xcode from https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12, and accept the license:

    sudo xcodebuild -license
    
  • Install homebrew, node and rustup-init (rustup, rust, cargo, etc.)

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
    brew install node rustup-init
    rustup-init # follow the installation steps
    
  • Install postgres and configure the database

    brew install postgresql@15
    brew services start postgresql@15
    psql -c "CREATE ROLE postgres SUPERUSER LOGIN" postgres
    psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE zed"
    
  • Install the LiveKit server, the PostgREST API server, and the foreman process supervisor:

    brew install livekit
    brew install postgrest
    brew install foreman
    
  • Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory and install its 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 zed database and seed it with some initial users:

    Create a personal GitHub token to run script/bootstrap once successfully: the token needs to have an access to private repositories for the script to work (repo OAuth scope). Then delete that token.

    GITHUB_TOKEN=<$token> script/bootstrap
    
  • Now try running zed with collaboration disabled:

    cargo run
    

Common errors

  • xcrun: error: unable to find utility "metal", not a developer tool or in PATH

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.
