Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

When I try to launch Zed using Spotlight it just does not open. There are no errors reported in the System log either.

When I open up a terminal it launches, but prints a variety of errors:

cd /Applications/Zed.app/Contents/MacOS

It sounds like it can't write the database to ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/db. Do you have write access to that folder? What version of Zed are you using?

[AshwinJay]

You are right! I chown on that directory, but it still does not launch from Spotlight.

Version Zed 0.122.2.

[mrnugget]

What if you delete ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed entirely and then start Zed from Spotlight?

[AshwinJay]

Tried that. Same issue. Looks like there is a privacy/permissions issue. When it launched from the terminal, auto update ran and then failed to complete with this error:

That seems weird. How about you deinstall and reinstall /Applications/Zed.app and also delete that Library folder again?

[AshwinJay]

Tried the whole thing again. Same errors and behaviors.

[mrnugget]

Does it work if you right-click on Zed.app when you open /Applications in Finder and select Open?

[AshwinJay]

Ok.. I think we may be getting somewhere.

It fails with this modal The application “Zed” can’t be opened..

I had missed the launchd.log and here's what it says. Maybe this helps?

Hmmmm, I don't know where to go from here, considering that a lot of other people use the exact same .dmg and .app without any problem. So something about your system might be off. The readonly error makes me suspicious. Does anything come to mind what's special about your setup?

Multiple-users? Non-admin user? Something like that?

Thanks for trying to help. I'll let you know if I get it to work.

Update: Zed 0.128.3 now works for me! I made no other change other than reinstall the new version.
