## Problem
The Zed module's settings parsing was broken. The previous
implementation used quote escaping:
```hcl
SETTINGS_JSON='${replace(var.settings, "\"", "\\\"")}'
```
This produced invalid JSON like `{\"theme\":\"dark\"}` which **jq could
not parse** because the backslash-escaped quotes are not valid JSON
syntax.
## Solution
Changed to use base64 encoding internally:
```hcl
locals {
settings_b64 = var.settings != "" ? base64encode(var.settings) : ""
}
# In the script:
SETTINGS_B64='${local.settings_b64}'
SETTINGS_JSON="$(echo -n "${SETTINGS_B64}" | base64 -d)"
```
**User interface remains the same** - users still provide plain JSON via
`jsonencode()` or heredoc:
```hcl
module "zed" {
source = "..."
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
settings = jsonencode({
theme = "dark"
fontSize = 14
})
}
```
## Testing
Added comprehensive tests:
**Terraform tests (5):**
- URL generation (default, folder, agent_name)
- Settings base64 encoding verification
- Empty settings edge case
**Container e2e tests (3):**
- Creates settings file with correct JSON (including special chars:
quotes, backslashes, URLs)
- Merges with existing settings via jq
- Exits early with empty settings
Also fixed existing tests to use `override_data` for proper workspace
mocking.

Zed
Add a button to open any workspace with a single click in Zed.
Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.
Important
Zed needs you to either have Coder CLI installed with
coder config-sshrun or Coder Desktop
module "zed" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/zed/coder"
version = "1.1.4"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
}
Examples
Open in a specific directory
module "zed" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/zed/coder"
version = "1.1.4"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
folder = "/home/coder/project"
}
Custom display name and order
module "zed" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/zed/coder"
version = "1.1.4"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
display_name = "Zed Editor"
order = 1
}
With custom agent name
module "zed" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/zed/coder"
version = "1.1.4"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
agent_name = coder_agent.example.name
}
Configure Zed settings including MCP servers
Zed stores settings at ~/.config/zed/settings.json by default. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set on Linux, settings will be at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zed/settings.json.
You can declaratively set/merge settings with the settings input. Provide a JSON string (e.g., via jsonencode(...)). For example, to configure MCP servers:
module "zed" {
count = data.coder_workspace.me.start_count
source = "registry.coder.com/coder/zed/coder"
version = "1.1.4"
agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
settings = jsonencode({
context_servers = {
your-mcp-server = {
source = "custom"
command = "some-command"
args = ["arg-1", "arg-2"]
env = {}
}
}
})
}
