Zed Beancount

This extension adds support for the Beancount language.

Setup

By default this extension just provides syntax highlighting for .beancount and .bean files, but also optional support for beancount-language-server as well.

To use that you will need beancount and beancount-language-server available in your path. For example, on mac:

brew install beancount beancount-language-server

With that installed Zed will show Diagnostic information inline and in the Zed Diagnostics Panel like this:

Configuration

You can configure the beancount-language-server by adding initialization options to either your project settings or global Zed settings:

// Project-specific: .zed/settings.json
// Global: ~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "lsp": {
    "beancount": {
      "initialization_options": {
        "journal_file": "/path/to/main.beancount"
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom Binary Path

By default, the extension searches for beancount-language-server in your system PATH. If you need to use a custom binary location, you can configure it:

{
  "lsp": {
    "beancount": {
      "binary": {
        "path": "/custom/path/to/beancount-language-server",
        "arguments": ["--debug"],
        "env": {
          "CUSTOM_VAR": "value"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration options:

• path: Absolute path to the beancount-language-server binary (optional, defaults to searching PATH)
• arguments: Additional command-line arguments to pass to the language server (optional)
• env: Additional environment variables to set for the language server process (optional)
