Permission denied trying to create files in a Google Drive folder

I'm getting this error when using the code action to create new files

Thanks for reporting!

This would be a Zed issue; On requesting the code action, the server returns a create file lsp response. The text editor is then responsible for creating the file.

Can you create files normally in Zed?

[rafaelss]

yeah, creating files using New File menu is working normally

perhaps it's related to this: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5138

I tried it now creating files in the Desktop folder, and after zed asked for permissions and have it, the files were created normally as well

anyways, I'll create my folder somewhere else and make google drive sync it (instead of use the folder directly from the google drive directory)

I guessing Zed is using a macOS operating system api to create new files through the context menu, and a different API for the LSP. I would have to check the source to figure out for sure.

I hope your work around works!

Is there any other comments you have on the language server running in Zed?

Also if your workaround works I'll close the issue
