Ted Robertsonanddino 501ab50f9b zed: Hide log file actions when logging to stdout (#57114)
When running `zed` [directly from a foreground
terminal](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/51351#issuecomment-4507962670)
(stable `zed-editor`, or zed dev builds via `cargo run` as in #51351),
Zed only enables the stdout log sink and never creates `Zed.log` on
disk. This causes `zed: open log` and `zed: reveal log in file manager`
to always failed with `Unable to access/open log file ...: Failed to
read file... No such file or directory (os error 2)`.

Per maintainer feedback, rather than always creating the log file, this
change only registers the `OpenLog` and `RevealLogInFileManager` action
handlers when stdout isn't a PTY. In the PTY case the two actions no
longer appear in the command palette at all, so they can't be invoked
only to error.

Repro (before this change):
1. `rm -rf ~/.local/share/zed/logs/`
2. `~/.local/zed.app/libexec/zed-editor` (the GUI binary directly,
bypassing the CLI wrapper which detaches and sets `ZED_FORCE_CLI_MODE`)
3. In Zed, run `zed: open log` → error toast

Release Notes:

- Fixed `zed: open log` and `zed: reveal log in file manager` appearing
and erroring when Zed was launched directly from a terminal. These
actions are now hidden in that scenario, since logs go to stdout rather
than Zed's log file.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

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.

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.

If you’d like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue. There are no perks or entitlements associated with sponsorship.
