Closes #20070 Release Notes: - Fixed issue where files wouldn't open from the file explorer. - Fixed "Open a new workspace" option on the desktop entry right-click menu. Context: Zed consists of two binaries: - `zed` (CLI component, located at `crates/cli/main.rs`) - `zed-editor` (GUI component, located at `crates/zed/main.rs`) When `zed` is used in the terminal, it checks if an existing instance is running. If one is found, it sends data via a socket to open the specified file. Otherwise, it launches a new instance of `zed-editor`. For more details, see the `detect` and `boot_background` functions in `crates/cli/main.rs`. Root Cause: Install process creates directories like `.local/zed.app` and `.local/zed-preview.app`, which contain desktop entries for the corresponding release. For example, `.local/zed.app/share/applications` contains `zed.desktop`. This desktop entry includes a generic `Exec` field, which is correct by default: ```sh Comment=A high-performance, multiplayer code editor. TryExec=zed StartupNotify=true ``` The issue is in the `install.sh` script. This script copies the above desktop file to the common directory for desktop entries (.local/share/applications). During this process, it replaces the `TryExec` value from `zed` with the exact binary path to avoid relying on the shell's PATH resolution and to make it explicit. However, replacement incorrectly uses the path for `zed-editor` instead of the `zed` CLI binary. This results in not opening a file as if you use `zed-editor` directly to do this it will throw `zed is already running` error on production and open new instance on dev. Note: This PR solves it for new users. For existing users, they will either have to update `.desktop` file manually, or use `install.sh` script again. I'm not aware of zed auto-update method, if it runs `install.sh` under the hood. |
