Doesn't it work with:
zed-fhs = pkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
name = "zed";
targetPkgs = pkgs:
with pkgs; [
zed-editor
];
runScript = "zed";
};
NixOS is listed here: https://zed.dev/docs/linux
For me, works as expected.
But now I get issues that are likely due to problems with downloading language server binaries and running them, as the parent comment indicated. When I open a Rust project it says "Language server rust-analyzer-2024-07-08 (id 1) status update: Failed to load workspaces."
Also, it dumps core every time I quit. :)
It's unfortunate that the documentation for XDG desktop portals (and generally, setting up a complete desktop setup when using compositors like labwc or Sway) is relatively poorly documented. I have my feelings about the pervasiveness of DBus services everywhere but overall I like desktop portals.
I highly recommend Little Snitch or opensnitch to protect oneself from rogue developers. Yes, anybody downloading things or uploading things without my consent is a rogue.
The eagerness to download stuff without my consent at the moment precludes me from using this e.g. in a job that touches a sensitive proprietary codebase.
The thing is, I would just disable it, but you can't, as far as I can tell. There's this somewhat angry issue about it here:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589
They might have a point but beyond whether or not they have a point regarding the fact that it automatically fetches binaries from the Internet, not having an option to disable it is just cruel.
I still like Zed a lot and I also have a big appreciation for the design of GPUI, which I think is a very well-designed UI library that puts focus on the important things. So, I hope it goes well.
