Descriptions

I cloned the source code, built and tried running it, but it cannot display an window, and threw errors instead.

Here are the errors:

You need to set WindowOptions to visible at crates\zed\src\zed.rs

pub fn build_window_options(display_uuid: Option<Uuid>, cx: &mut AppContext) -> WindowOptions {
    let display = display_uuid.and_then(|uuid| {
        cx.displays()
            .into_iter()
            .find(|display| display.uuid().ok() == Some(uuid))
    });
    let app_id = ReleaseChannel::global(cx).app_id();
    let window_decorations = match std::env::var("ZED_WINDOW_DECORATIONS") {
        Ok(val) if val == "server" => gpui::WindowDecorations::Server,
        Ok(val) if val == "client" => gpui::WindowDecorations::Client,
        _ => gpui::WindowDecorations::Client,
    };

    WindowOptions {
        titlebar: Some(TitlebarOptions {
            title: None,
            appears_transparent: true,
            traffic_light_position: Some(point(px(9.0), px(9.0))),
        }),
        window_bounds: None,
        focus: false,
        show: true, ////////////<---------- HERE IS SET TO FALSE, CHANGE IT
        kind: WindowKind::Normal,
        is_movable: true,
        display_id: display.map(|display| display.id()),
        window_background: cx.theme().window_background_appearance(),
        app_id: Some(app_id.to_owned()),
        window_decorations: Some(window_decorations),
        window_min_size: Some(gpui::Size {
            width: px(360.0),
            height: px(240.0),
        }),
    }
}
