Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/56219 Contains 3 commist: * https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56380/changes/a8d55273d6cddb39868a1fd669c5069a1133a373 shows better errors when CLI or main binary fail early: no backtraces, better error context, diff file paths shown * https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56380/changes/d389f7ee239dcf9bfa2bfe91729d96d2c1931663 stops opening Zed if cli `--diff` path argument(s) does not exist, also switches over async fs API on the Zed side. This is a behavior change, as before Zed tried to open or connect to an instance — can be reverted if needed. With `Path::exists` check CLI will do now: <img width="669" height="55" alt="now" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bdfbef2f-1b28-443d-8a01-0ff73ec0bba1" /> If I remove that bit, Zed will now open in the same cwd where the CLI is invoked in: <img width="1724" height="639" alt="reverted" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69cd171b-aca3-445b-8647-5786f3360ce4" /> * https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56380/changes/49787b7366336711b5bfc11ba3661f3ba70ce8ca fixes an underlying bug leading to memory leak. If on current `main`, I apply ```diff diff --git a/crates/zed/src/zed/open_listener.rs b/crates/zed/src/zed/open_listener.rs index 18ea7c0869..5db22521f2 100644 --- a/crates/zed/src/zed/open_listener.rs +++ b/crates/zed/src/zed/open_listener.rs @@ -791,6 +791,7 @@ async fn open_local_workspace( // working directory so the workspace opens with the right context. if !user_provided_paths && !diff_paths.is_empty() { if let Ok(cwd) = std::env::current_dir() { + log::error!("@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ {cwd:?}"); workspace_paths.push(cwd.to_string_lossy().into_owned()); } } ``` I see the following logs: ``` 2026-05-11T09:52:35+03:00 INFO [zed] ========== starting zed version 1.3.0+dev.7bdcb6172263dc05c0b59be76e09f3e89e23e4f1, sha |
