Swift

Swift language support in Zed is provided by the community-maintained Swift extension. Report issues to: https://github.com/zed-extensions/swift/issues

• Tree-sitter: alex-pinkus/tree-sitter-swift
• Language Server: swiftlang/sourcekit-lsp
• Debug Adapter: lldb-dap

Language Server Configuration

You can modify the behavior of SourceKit LSP by creating a .sourcekit-lsp/config.json under your home directory or in your project root. See SourceKit-LSP configuration file for complete documentation.

Debugging

The Swift extension provides a debug adapter for debugging Swift code. Zed's name for the adapter (in the UI and debug.json) is Swift, and under the hood it uses lldb-dap, as provided by the Swift toolchain. The extension tries to find an lldb-dap binary using swiftly, using xcrun, and by searching $PATH, in that order of preference. The extension doesn't attempt to download lldb-dap if it's not found.
