Support for Zed

Open brandonzylstra opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It would be very helpful if DevPod supported the Zed editor.

It's growing in popularity and now available for all 3 major platforms.

Hi @brandondrew, thanks for opening the issue. Zed definitely looks like a welcome addition to the IDE ecosystem and I'm personally excited to see their development. It'd be fantastic if we could add them as an IDE to DevPod. We're currently lacking a way of programatically opening a remote environment though, I've created a ticket over at Zeds repo for this purpose.

You can still use Zed with DevPod manually if you want to:

  1. Create your workspace with DevPod
  2. In Zed (Preview), start the projects: open remote action
  3. Click on New Server
  4. Select Connect via SSH (default) and enter either ssh $WORKSPACE_ID.devpod or devpod ssh $WORKSPACE_ID as the host
  5. Zed should install itself into the container and connect your local instance to it

Hey man, I've been trying first with the example from the vscode repo for a quick check. I get this image

Even though I can ssh into it:

vscode-remote-try-python on  main via  v3.11.2 on   (ca-central-1)
❯ ssh vscode-remote-try-python.devpod
vscode ➜ /workspaces/vscode-remote-try-python (main) $ cd .local/
vscode ➜ /workspaces/vscode-remote-try-python/.local (main) $ ls -a
.  ..
vscode ➜ /workspaces/vscode-remote-try-python/.local (main) $ which gzip
/usr/bin/gzip

# Checking zed bin and glibc version
vscode ➜ ~/.local/bin $ ls
flask
vscode ➜ ~/.local/bin $ ldd --version

I am running ❯ zed --version Zed preview 0.157.2

Feels like its not sending the headless zed binary through ssh or maybe I just don't get it. Anyways, I know this is like preview/alpha stuff but since I am trying to get into devcontainers and really don't want to ever go back to vscode, if you have any idea of what I am doing wrong.

DevPod worked though, meaning I can still edit the file in zed: image

And changes are reflected inside the container

vscode ➜ /workspaces/vscode-remote-try-python (main) $ python -m flask run --port 9000

We've just released v0.6.0 which includes support for Zed :)
