Finn Eitreim 25b9b5b18d lsp: Fix LSP restart breaking semantic token highlighting (#51452)
Closes #51450 

When you restart the lsp, it does not sufficiently clear cached data
regarding the semantic tokens, if using semantic_tokens = "full", this
would mean that you would have no syntax highlighting. also, toggling on
and off semantic tokens in the menu would have no effect. this change
properly clears the cached state and things work again!

Before:

After:

You might notice that the syntax highlighting is quite spare in the
videos, especially compared to the non semantic token based
highlighting, and you would be correct! but thats just how it is with
`semantic_tokens: "full"`, other editors, like neovim, provide basic
syntax highlighting that zed doesn't (because it doesn't need to with
treesitter usually, but here treesitter is disabled), however if we turn
off that syntax highlighting we can see that neovim actually matches zed
here:

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, add publish = 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 the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
