Don't reopen last workspace when opening a new file/directory from cli

Describe the feature

When I launch zed from the command line, a la zed .zshrc, and it launches zed it should just open the file/directory specified on the cli and NOT open the previously open project/workspace/directory.

If I do not specify a file/directory to open then maintaining current behavior (open previous) seems reasonable -- though opening a new scratch doc seems more consistent with expected behavior for other editors

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

What version of Zed are you using? v0.128.0 seems to do exactly what you're describing.

[escobera]

This is happening to me as well on 0.130.6 and 0.131.4-preview

Another way to trigger this is:

1. cd into any directory
2. zed .
3. cmd + q to quit zed
4. zed . again in the same dir as last time

Is this a regression?

Line 402 here does not run on app start from CLI which it should. Could it be a race condition on the information not having beeh transferred over the ipc channel?

zed/crates/zed/src/main.rs

Lines 395 to 410 in e1685de

	match open_rx
	.try_next()
	.ok()
	.flatten()
	.and_then(|urls| OpenRequest::parse(urls, cx).log_err())
	{
	Some(request) => {
	triggered_authentication = handle_open_request(request, app_state.clone(), cx)
	}
	None => cx
	.spawn({
	let app_state = app_state.clone();
	|cx| async move { restore_or_create_workspace(app_state, cx).await }
	})
	.detach(),
	}

Could the initial information about the program being started from cli be sent as arguments and not depend on being sent over IPC perhaps?

I can no longer reproduce what @escobera is describing.
I believe this behavior has been fixed at some point in the last 7 months (the workspace serialization routines were significantly altered over the summer).

I'm closing in favor of consolidating any remaining related concerns into this here:

• Closed project reopens on every startup #7759

Thanks for reporting.

[hferreiro]

I can reproduce with the latest stable version, same steps as #9592 (comment).

[notpeter]

@hferreiro I cannot reproduce this. Could you blow away your workspace db folder and see if that helps:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/db
ls -l
rm -rf 0-stable

[hferreiro]

@notpeter still reproducible. I have to close with cmd-w to avoid this behavior.

@notpeter can you reopen this issue?
