Zed, invalid type: string "lsp"

[White-Rabbit-Scientific]

Following the instructions... created .zed/settings.json and added

"lsp": {
  "tinymist": {
    "settings": {
      "exportPdf": "onSave",
      "outputPath": "$root/$name"
    }
  }
}

Zed popup:

"Failed to set local settings in ".zed/settings.json":
invalid type: string "lsp", expected struct
ProjectSettingsContent at line 1 column 5

This fixes it:

{
  "settings": {
    "lsp": {
      "tinymist": {
        "settings": {
          "exportPdf": "onSave",
          "outputPath": "$root/$name"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The settings JSON you provided is invalid. It is supposed to look like this:

{
  "lsp": {
    "tinymist": {
      "settings": {
        "exportPdf": "onSave",
        "outputPath": "$root/$name",
      },
    },
  },
}

The underlying issue here is that the project settings are not communicated to tinymist. Reading https://zed.dev/docs/remote-development?highlight=project%20settings#zed-settings, it seems like project settings are not supposed to set language server settings, so this is intended.

Hence, you should put all tinymist configurations in the local Zed settings file ~/.zed/settings.json (or ~/.config/zed/settings.json on Linux).
