Eric Holk d22f8bf2a7 Make zed foo/ add to active window and open sidebar (#53254)
Changes the default CLI behavior when opening directories:

- `zed foo/` now adds `foo/` as a new workspace in the active window's
MultiWorkspace and opens the sidebar, instead of creating a new window.
If `bar/` was previously open, both `foo/` and `bar/` are retained as
separate workspaces in the sidebar.
- `zed -n foo/` continues to open a new window without the sidebar
(unchanged behavior).
- `zed -a foo/` continues to add to the existing workspace (unchanged
behavior).

The new behavior is gated on `multi_workspace_enabled` (the `agent-v2`
feature flag). Without the flag, directories open in a new window as
before, avoiding a situation where the workspace gets replaced with no
sidebar to switch back.

The change is contained to `open_paths()` in
`crates/workspace/src/workspace.rs`. When no CLI flag is specified and
no existing workspace matches the paths, we now look for the active
window and set `requesting_window` so that `Workspace::new_local` adds
the new workspace to it rather than creating a new window.

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.

Sponsorship

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.
