Z-2357 I've found a crate that handles both comments and trailing commas in JSON. It is a fork of `serde_json`, but it is maintained & up-to-date. Sadly RawValue seems to not play nicely with it; I've ran into deserialisation issues around use of RawValue. For this PR I've migrated to `Value` API. Obviously this is just a point of discussion, not something I'd merge straight away. There may be better solutions to this particular problem. I've also noticed that `serde_json_lenient` does not handle trailing commas after bindings array. I'm not sure how big of an issue that is. Release Notes: - Improved handling of trailing commas in settings files. [#1322](https://github.com/zed-industries/community/issues/1322)
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:
cd .. git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev -
Initialize submodules
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.
