This PR fixes some issues in response to feedback from Dan Abramov and
Jose Valim.
To do:
* [x] fix non-word search suggestions
* [x] add setting for disabling search suggestions
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where opening a search without text selected would
populate the search query with non-word characters adjacent to the
cursor.
- Added a setting, `seed_search_query_from_cursor`, which controls
whether the search query is automatically populated from the buffer when
starting a new buffer search or project search.
By default, the search query will always be set to the word under the
cursor. If you want to only populate the search query when text is
selected, you can add the following to your `~/.zed/settings.json`:
```json
{
"seed_search_query_from_cursor": "selection"
}
```
If you don't want the search query to be automatically populated, even
when there is text selected, add the following:
```json
{
"seed_search_query_from_cursor": "never"
}
```

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 "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" brew install node rustup-init rustup-init # follow the installation steps -
Install postgres and configure the database
brew install postgresql@15 brew services start postgresql@15 psql -c "CREATE ROLE postgres SUPERUSER LOGIN" postgres psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE zed" -
Install the
LiveKitserver, thePostgRESTAPI server, and theforemanprocess supervisor:brew install livekit brew install postgrest brew install foreman -
Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory and install its dependencies:
cd .. git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev cd zed.dev && npm install npm install -g vercel -
Return to Zed project directory and Initialize submodules
cd zed git submodule update --init --recursive -
Set up a local
zeddatabase and seed it with some initial users:Create a personal GitHub token to run
script/bootstraponce successfully: the token needs to have an access to private repositories for the script to work (repoOAuth scope). Then delete that token.GITHUB_TOKEN=<$token> script/bootstrap -
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- You need to install Xcode and then run:
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer - (see https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/issues/2309)
- You need to install Xcode and then run:
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-local
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.
