Activate on top level `Cargo.toml` and `rust-project.json` files I believe there is an issue with how rust-analyzer is activated from within a VS Code project. IIUC, the intent is that when you open a rust project with a top level `Cargo.toml`, then rust-analyzer should just start right up due to a VS Code activation event. This is not currently the case. i.e. run something like `cargo new ~/Desktop/hithere`, then open that folder in VS Code: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/assets/19150088/1608b985-fd88-4174-a22a-5b3dd0fad84b It is not until you actually open a Rust file that the extension starts up. It looks like this was introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/pull/10442. I do agree that recursive searching with `**/` is likely overkill, but I'm not sure `*/Cargo.toml` is working as expected in this comment (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/pull/10442#issuecomment-932967421): > For some reason, */Cargo.toml works for both Cargo.toml in the project root and in a subdirectory (but not two levels deep). That does not seem to be the case for me. I even went into VS Code itself and added some fake tests for `glob.match()` (which is eventually what gets used for this) and `*/Cargo.toml` doesn't seem to match a top level `Cargo.toml` (and I think that makes sense). <img width="1087" alt="Screenshot 2024-02-12 at 6 07 08 PM" src="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/assets/19150088/510b0aaa-ac66-48b1-a9e2-a3bdfc237c48"> Lastly, the VS Code search filtering uses the same glob patterns, and it also doesn't match with `*/Cargo.toml`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/assets/19150088/4973f5e7-270d-489a-8db4-37469ffe12df --- If you want both top level `Cargo.toml`s and 1-level-deep `Cargo.toml`s to be detected by VS Code's activation events, then I think we need to lay both of those conditions out explicitly, which I've done in this PR. That does fix the problem for me. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/assets/19150088/bfcb1223-c45c-479a-9ea4-4be3f36e6838
rust-analyzer is a modular compiler frontend for the Rust language. It is a part of a larger rls-2.0 effort to create excellent IDE support for Rust.
