Zed Extension Release
Overview
Automate version bumps and release chores for the Zed extension in this repo using the bundled script.
Workflow
- Pick the new version and write release notes.
- Run the script to update
extension.toml, CHANGELOG.md, README.md (Latest), and PUBLISHING.md.
- Optionally build
extension.wasm and run tests.
- Review
git status and diffs.
- Commit, tag, and push to trigger the registry update workflow.
- Verify the GitHub Action run and merge the PR in
zed-industries/extensions.
Script
Use scripts/zed_extension_release.py from the repo root.
Common usage
Bump files only:
python3 /Users/applesucks/.codex/skills/zed-extension-release/scripts/zed_extension_release.py 0.0.9 \
--note "Fix Vue file issue" \
--note "Improve hover descriptions"
Full release (build + tests + commit + tag + push):
python3 /Users/applesucks/.codex/skills/zed-extension-release/scripts/zed_extension_release.py 0.0.9 \
--notes-file release-notes.txt \
--build \
--run-tests \
--commit \
--tag \
--push
Behavior
- Updates
extension.toml version.
- Inserts a new top section in
CHANGELOG.md using provided notes.
- Updates README
### Latest: vX.Y.Z if present.
- Updates release checklist/version fields in
PUBLISHING.md if present.
- Updates hardcoded version checks in release tests when present (e.g.,
test_extension.sh, .github/workflows/test.yml).
--build runs cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1 and copies to extension.wasm.--run-tests runs cargo test --lib, ./test_extension.sh, and ./test_clean_install.sh.--commit fails on unrelated changes unless --allow-dirty is used.--tag creates v<version>; --push pushes commit + tag to origin (override with --remote).
