![]() We had a frequent panic when the agent was using our edit file tool. The root cause was that we were constructing a `BufferDiff` with `BufferDiff::new`, then calling `set_base_text`, but not waiting for that asynchronous operation to finish. This means there was a window of time where the diff's base text was set to the initial value of `""`--that's not a problem in itself, but it was possible for us to call `PendingDiff::update` during that window, which calls `BufferDiff::update_diff`, which calls `BufferDiffSnapshot::new_with_base_buffer`, which takes two arguments `base_text` and `base_text_snapshot` that are supposed to represent the same text. We were getting the first of those arguments from the `base_text` field of `PendingDiff`, which is set immediately to the target base text without waiting for `BufferDiff::set_base_text` to run to completion; and the second from the `BufferDiff` itself, which still has the empty base text during that window. As a result of that mismatch, we could end up adding `DeletedHunk` diff transforms to the multibuffer for the diff card even though the multibuffer's base text was empty, ultimately leading to a panic very far away in rendering code. I've fixed this by adding a new `BufferDiff` constructor for the case where the buffer contents and the base text are (initially) the same, like for the diff cards, and so we don't need an async diff calculation. I also added a debug assertion to catch the basic issue here earlier, when `BufferDiffSnapshot::new_with_base_buffer` is called with two base texts that don't match.

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about
to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
