Migrate to schemars version 1.0 (#33635)
The major change in schemars 1.0 is that now schemas are represented as
plain json values instead of specialized datatypes. This allows for more
concise construction and manipulation.

This change also improves how settings schemas are generated. Each top
level settings type was being generated as a full root schema including
the definitions it references, and then these were merged. This meant
generating all shared definitions multiple times, and might have bugs in
cases where there are two types with the same names.

Now instead the schemar generator's `definitions` are built up as they
normally are and the `Settings` trait no longer has a special
`json_schema` method. To handle types that have schema that vary at
runtime (`FontFamilyName`, `ThemeName`, etc), values of
`ParameterizedJsonSchema` are collected by `inventory`, and the schema
definitions for these types are replaced.

To help check that this doesn't break anything, I tried to minimize the
overall [schema
diff](https://gist.github.com/mgsloan/1de549def20399d6f37943a3c1583ee7)
with some patches to make the order more consistent + schemas also
sorted with `jq -S .`. A skim of the diff shows that the diffs come
from:

* `enum: ["value"]` turning into `const: "value"`
* Differences in handling of newlines for "description"
* Schemas for generic types no longer including the parameter name, now
all disambiguation is with numeric suffixes
* Enums now using `oneOf` instead of `anyOf`.

Zed Server

This crate is what we run at https://collab.zed.dev.

It contains our back-end logic for collaboration, to which we connect from the Zed client via a websocket after authenticating via https://zed.dev, which is a separate repo running on Vercel.

Local Development

Database setup

Before you can run the collab server locally, you'll need to set up a zed Postgres database. Follow the steps sequentially:

  1. Ensure you have postgres installed. If not, install with brew install postgresql@15.
  2. Follow the steps on Brew's formula and verify your $PATH contains /opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin.
  3. If you hadn't done it before, create the postgres user with createuser -s postgres.
  4. You are now ready to run the bootstrap script:
script/bootstrap

This script will set up the zed Postgres database, and populate it with some users. It requires internet access, because it fetches some users from the GitHub API.

The script will create several admin users, who you'll sign in as by default when developing locally. The GitHub logins for the default users are specified in the seed.default.json file.

To use a different set of admin users, create crates/collab/seed.json.

{
  "admins": ["yourgithubhere"],
  "channels": ["zed"]
}

Testing collaborative features locally

In one terminal, run Zed's collaboration server and the livekit dev server:

foreman start

In a second terminal, run two or more instances of Zed.

script/zed-local -2

This script starts one to four instances of Zed, depending on the -2, -3 or -4 flags. Each instance will be connected to the local collab server, signed in as a different user from seed.json or seed.default.json.

Deployment

We run two instances of collab:

Both of these run on the Kubernetes cluster hosted in Digital Ocean.

Deployment is triggered by pushing to the collab-staging (or collab-production) tag in GitHub. The best way to do this is:

  • ./script/deploy-collab staging
  • ./script/deploy-collab production

You can tell what is currently deployed with ./script/what-is-deployed.

Database Migrations

To create a new migration:

./script/create-migration <name>

Migrations are run automatically on service start, so run foreman start again. The service will crash if the migrations fail.

When you create a new migration, you also need to update the SQLite schema that is used for testing.
