Eliminate assets crate (#2575)
Previously, all static assets were embedded into Zed using a single
`RustEmbed` struct called `Assets`, which was in a crate of its own,
also called `assets`. Many crates depended on this crate. The problem
with this situation was that changing *any* static asset file caused
almost every crate in the codebase to need recompilation (because of
recursive dependencies on `assets`).

Now, most of the assets are embedded only into the top-level `zed`
crate. A few assets (such as settings JSON files and AI prompts) are
needed in lower-level crates such as `settings` and `ai`. For these,
I've created separate `RustEmbed` structs in those specific crates,
which embed those specific sub-folders of `assets`.

The result is that now, when you change a theme file, the only crate
that needs to recompile is `zed`.

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: 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
    

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.
