|
At its core, rust-analyzer is a *library* for semantic analysis of Rust code as it changes over time.
|
|
This manual focuses on a specific usage of the library -- running it as part of a server that implements the
|
|
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/[Language Server Protocol] (LSP).
|
|
The LSP allows various code editors, like VS Code, Emacs or Vim, to implement semantic features like completion or goto definition by talking to an external language server process.
|

If you have questions about using rust-analyzer, please ask them in the https://users.rust-lang.org/c/ide/14["`IDEs and Editors`"] topic of Rust users forum.
|
|
|
|
== Installation
|
|
|
|
In theory, one should be able to just install the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>> and have it automatically work with any editor.
|
|
We are not there yet, so some editor specific setup is required.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, rust-analyzer needs the sources of the standard library.
|
|
If the source code is not present, rust-analyzer will attempt to install it automatically.
|
|
|
|
To add the sources manually, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rustup component add rust-src
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== VS Code
|
|
|
|
This is the best supported editor at the moment.
|
|
The rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
|
|
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
|
|
|
|
You can install the latest release of the plugin from
|
|
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
|
|
|
|
Note that the plugin may cause conflicts with the
|
|
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust[official Rust plugin].
|
|
It is recommended to disable the Rust plugin when using the rust-analyzer extension.
|
|
|
|
By default, the plugin will prompt you to download the matching version of the server as well:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
To disable this notification put the following to `settings.json`
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.updates.askBeforeDownload": false }
|
|
----
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The server binary is stored in:
|
|
|
|
* Linux: `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`
|
|
* Linux (Remote, such as WSL): `~/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`
|
|
* macOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`
|
|
* Windows: `%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\matklad.rust-analyzer`
|
|
|
|
Note that we only support two most recent versions of VS Code.
|
|
|
|
==== Updates
|
|
|
|
The extension will be updated automatically as new versions become available.
|
|
It will ask your permission to download the matching language server version binary if needed.
|
|
|
|
===== Nightly
|
|
|
|
We ship nightly releases for VS Code.
|
|
To help us out with testing the newest code and follow the bleeding edge of our `master`, please use the following config:
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.updates.channel": "nightly" }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted to install the `nightly` extension version.
|
|
Just click `Download now` and from that moment you will get automatic updates every 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to be asked for `Download now` every day when the new nightly version is released add the following to your `settings.json`:
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.updates.askBeforeDownload": false }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Nightly extension should **only** be installed via the `Download now` action from VS Code.
|
|
|
|
==== Manual installation
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, procure both `rust-analyzer.vsix` and your platform's matching `rust-analyzer-{platform}`, for example from the
|
|
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[releases] page.
|
|
|
|
Install the extension with the `Extensions: Install from VSIX` command within VS Code, or from the command line via:
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ code --install-extension /path/to/rust-analyzer.vsix
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Copy the `rust-analyzer-{platform}` binary anywhere, then add the path to your settings.json, for example:
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.server.path": "~/.local/bin/rust-analyzer-linux" }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Building From Source
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, both the server and the Code plugin can be installed from source:
|
|
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
|
|
$ cargo xtask install
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You'll need Cargo, nodejs and npm for this.
|
|
|
|
Note that installing via `xtask install` does not work for VS Code Remote, instead you'll need to install the `.vsix` manually.
|
|
|
|
If you're not using Code, you can compile and install only the LSP server:
|
|
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ cargo xtask install --server
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== rust-analyzer Language Server Binary
|
|
|
|
Other editors generally require the `rust-analyzer` binary to be in `$PATH`.
|
|
You can download pre-built binaries from the https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[releases] page.
|
|
You will need to uncompress and rename the binary for your platform, e.g. from `rust-analyzer-aarch64-apple-darwin.gz` on Mac OS to `rust-analyzer`, make it executable, then move it into a directory in your `$PATH`.
|
|
|
|
On Linux to install the `rust-analyzer` binary into `~/.local/bin`, these commands should work:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ curl -L https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases/latest/download/rust-analyzer-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz | gunzip -c - > ~/.local/bin/rust-analyzer
|
|
$ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/rust-analyzer
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Make sure that `~/.local/bin` is listed in the `$PATH` variable and use the appropriate URL if you're not on a `x86-64` system.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can install it from source using the command below.
|
|
You'll need the latest stable version of the Rust toolchain.
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
|
|
$ cargo xtask install --server
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If your editor can't find the binary even though the binary is on your `$PATH`, the likely explanation is that it doesn't see the same `$PATH` as the shell, see https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/1811[this issue].
|
|
On Unix, running the editor from a shell or changing the `.desktop` file to set the environment should help.
|
|
|
|
==== `rustup`
|
|
|
|
`rust-analyzer` is available in `rustup`, but only in the nightly toolchain:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
---
|
|
$ rustup +nightly component add rust-analyzer-preview
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
==== Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
The `rust-analyzer` binary can be installed from the repos or AUR (Arch User Repository):
|
|
|
|
- https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/rust-analyzer/[`rust-analyzer`] (built from latest tagged source)
|
|
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rust-analyzer-git[`rust-analyzer-git`] (latest Git version)
|
|
|
|
Install it with pacman, for example:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ pacman -S rust-analyzer
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Gentoo Linux
|
|
|
|
`rust-analyzer` is available in the GURU repository:
|
|
|
|
- https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git/tree/dev-util/rust-analyzer-bin/rust-analyzer-bin-9999.ebuild[`dev-util/rust-analyzer-bin-9999`] (the https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases/latest[latest release] as a live binary ebuild)
|
|
|
|
If not already, GURU must be enabled (e.g. using `app-eselect/eselect-repository`) and sync'd before running `emerge`:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ eselect repository enable guru && emaint sync -r guru
|
|
$ emerge rust-analyzer-bin
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== macOS
|
|
|
|
The `rust-analyzer` binary can be installed via https://brew.sh/[Homebrew].
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ brew install rust-analyzer
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== Emacs
|
|
|
|
Note this excellent https://robert.kra.hn/posts/2021-02-07_rust-with-emacs/[guide] from https://github.com/rksm[@rksm].
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites: You have installed the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
|
|
|
|
Emacs support is maintained as part of the https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[Emacs-LSP] package in https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[lsp-rust.el].
|
|
|
|
1. Install the most recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[Emacs-LSP instructions].
|
|
2. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
|
|
3. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
|
|
4. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
|
|
|
|
=== Vim/NeoVim
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites: You have installed the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
|
|
Not needed if the extension can install/update it on its own, coc-rust-analyzer is one example.
|
|
|
|
The are several LSP client implementations for vim or neovim:
|
|
|
|
==== coc-rust-analyzer
|
|
|
|
1. Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at
|
|
https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim[coc.nvim]
|
|
(Node.js required)
|
|
2. Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install
|
|
https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer[coc-rust-analyzer],
|
|
this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
|
|
* automatically install and upgrade stable/nightly releases
|
|
* same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.server.path`, `rust-analyzer.cargo.features` etc.
|
|
* same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.ssr` etc.
|
|
* inlay hints for variables and method chaining, _Neovim Only_
|
|
* semantic highlighting is not implemented yet
|
|
|
|
Note: for code actions, use `coc-codeaction-cursor` and `coc-codeaction-selected`; `coc-codeaction` and `coc-codeaction-line` are unlikely to be useful.
|
|
|
|
==== LanguageClient-neovim
|
|
|
|
1. Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions
|
|
https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim[here]
|
|
* The GitHub project wiki has extra tips on configuration
|
|
|
|
2. Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing Rust-specific line if it exists):
|
|
+
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
|
|
\ 'rust': ['rust-analyzer'],
|
|
\ }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== YouCompleteMe
|
|
|
|
Install YouCompleteMe by following the instructions
|
|
https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe#installation[here].
|
|
|
|
rust-analyzer is the default in ycm, it should work out of the box.
|
|
|
|
==== ALE
|
|
|
|
To use the LSP server in https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale[ale]:
|
|
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
let g:ale_linters = {'rust': ['analyzer']}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== nvim-lsp
|
|
|
|
NeoVim 0.5 has built-in language server support.
|
|
For a quick start configuration of rust-analyzer, use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig#rust_analyzer[neovim/nvim-lspconfig].
|
|
Once `neovim/nvim-lspconfig` is installed, use `+lua require'lspconfig'.rust_analyzer.setup({})+` in your `init.vim`.
|
|
|
|
You can also pass LSP settings to the server:
|
|
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
lua << EOF
|
|
local nvim_lsp = require'lspconfig'
|
|
|
|
local on_attach = function(client)
|
|
require'completion'.on_attach(client)
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
nvim_lsp.rust_analyzer.setup({
|
|
on_attach=on_attach,
|
|
settings = {
|
|
["rust-analyzer"] = {
|
|
assist = {
|
|
importGranularity = "module",
|
|
importPrefix = "by_self",
|
|
},
|
|
cargo = {
|
|
loadOutDirsFromCheck = true
|
|
},
|
|
procMacro = {
|
|
enable = true
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
EOF
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
See https://sharksforarms.dev/posts/neovim-rust/ for more tips on getting started.
|
|
|
|
Check out https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim for a batteries included rust-analyzer setup for neovim.
|
|
|
|
==== vim-lsp
|
|
|
|
vim-lsp is installed by following https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp[the plugin instructions].
|
|
It can be as simple as adding this line to your `.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
Plug 'prabirshrestha/vim-lsp'
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Next you need to register the `rust-analyzer` binary.
|
|
If it is available in `$PATH`, you may want to add this to your `.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
if executable('rust-analyzer')
|
|
au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
|
|
\ 'name': 'Rust Language Server',
|
|
\ 'cmd': {server_info->['rust-analyzer']},
|
|
\ 'whitelist': ['rust'],
|
|
\ })
|
|
endif
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
There is no dedicated UI for the server configuration, so you would need to send any options as a value of the `initialization_options` field, as described in the <<_configuration,Configuration>> section.
|
|
Here is an example of how to enable the proc-macro support:
|
|
|
|
[source,vim]
|
|
----
|
|
if executable('rust-analyzer')
|
|
au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
|
|
\ 'name': 'Rust Language Server',
|
|
\ 'cmd': {server_info->['rust-analyzer']},
|
|
\ 'whitelist': ['rust'],
|
|
\ 'initialization_options': {
|
|
\ 'cargo': {
|
|
\ 'loadOutDirsFromCheck': v:true,
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'procMacro': {
|
|
\ 'enable': v:true,
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ })
|
|
endif
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== Sublime Text 3
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites: You have installed the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
|
|
|
|
You also need the `LSP` package.
|
|
To install it:
|
|
|
|
1. If you've never installed a Sublime Text package, install Package Control:
|
|
* Open the command palette (Win/Linux: `ctrl+shift+p`, Mac: `cmd+shift+p`)
|
|
* Type `Install Package Control`, press enter
|
|
2. In the command palette, run `Package control: Install package`, and in the list that pops up, type `LSP` and press enter.
|
|
|
|
Finally, with your Rust project open, in the command palette, run `LSP: Enable Language Server In Project` or `LSP: Enable Language Server Globally`, then select `rust-analyzer` in the list that pops up to enable the rust-analyzer LSP.
|
|
The latter means that rust-analyzer is enabled by default in Rust projects.
|
|
|
|
If it worked, you should see "rust-analyzer, Line X, Column Y" on the left side of the bottom bar, and after waiting a bit, functionality like tooltips on hovering over variables should become available.
|
|
|
|
If you get an error saying `No such file or directory: 'rust-analyzer'`, see the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>> section on installing the language server binary.
|
|
|
|
=== GNOME Builder
|
|
|
|
GNOME Builder 3.37.1 and newer has native `rust-analyzer` support.
|
|
If the LSP binary is not available, GNOME Builder can install it when opening a Rust file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Eclipse IDE
|
|
|
|
Support for Rust development in the Eclipse IDE is provided by link:https://github.com/eclipse/corrosion[Eclipse Corrosion].
|
|
If available in PATH or in some standard location, `rust-analyzer` is detected and powers editing of Rust files without further configuration.
|
|
If `rust-analyzer` is not detected, Corrosion will prompt you for configuration of your Rust toolchain and language server with a link to the __Window > Preferences > Rust__ preference page; from here a button allows to download and configure `rust-analyzer`, but you can also reference another installation.
|
|
You'll need to close and reopen all .rs and Cargo files, or to restart the IDE, for this change to take effect.
|
|
|
|
=== Kate Text Editor
|
|
|
|
Support for the language server protocol is built into Kate through the LSP plugin, which is included by default.
|
|
It is preconfigured to use Rls for rust sources, but allows you to use rust-analyzer through a simple settings change.
|
|
In the LSP Client settings of Kate, copy the content of the third tab "default parameters" to the second tab "server configuration".
|
|
Then in the configuration replace:
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
"rust": {
|
|
"command": ["rls"],
|
|
"rootIndicationFileNames": ["Cargo.lock", "Cargo.toml"],
|
|
"url": "https://github.com/rust-lang/rls",
|
|
"highlightingModeRegex": "^Rust$"
|
|
},
|
|
----
|
|
With
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
"rust": {
|
|
"command": ["rust-analyzer"],
|
|
"rootIndicationFileNames": ["Cargo.lock", "Cargo.toml"],
|
|
"url": "https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer",
|
|
"highlightingModeRegex": "^Rust$"
|
|
},
|
|
----
|
|
Then click on apply, and restart the LSP server for your rust project.
|
|
|
|
=== juCi++
|
|
|
|
https://gitlab.com/cppit/jucipp[juCi++] has built-in support for the language server protocol, and since version 1.7.0 offers installation of both Rust and rust-analyzer when opening a Rust file.
|
|
|
|
== Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Start with looking at the rust-analyzer version.
|
|
Try **Rust Analyzer: Show RA Version** in VS Code and `rust-analyzer --version` in the command line.
|
|
If the date is more than a week ago, it's better to update rust-analyzer version.
|
|
|
|
The next thing to check would be panic messages in rust-analyzer's log.
|
|
Log messages are printed to stderr, in VS Code you can see then in the `Output > Rust Analyzer Language Server` tab of the panel.
|
|
To see more logs, set `RA_LOG=info` environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
To fully capture LSP messages between the editor and the server, set `"rust-analyzer.trace.server": "verbose"` config and check
|
|
`Output > Rust Analyzer Language Server Trace`.
|
|
|
|
The root cause for many "`nothing works`" problems is that rust-analyzer fails to understand the project structure.
|
|
To debug that, first note the `rust-analyzer` section in the status bar.
|
|
If it has an error icon and red, that's the problem (hover will have somewhat helpful error message).
|
|
**Rust Analyzer: Status** prints dependency information for the current file.
|
|
Finally, `RA_LOG=project_model=debug` enables verbose logs during project loading.
|
|
|
|
If rust-analyzer outright crashes, try running `rust-analyzer analysis-stats /path/to/project/directory/` on the command line.
|
|
This command type checks the whole project in batch mode bypassing LSP machinery.
|
|
|
|
When filing issues, it is useful (but not necessary) to try to minimize examples.
|
|
An ideal bug reproduction looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git && cd repo && git switch --detach commit-hash
|
|
$ rust-analyzer --version
|
|
rust-analyzer dd12184e4 2021-05-08 dev
|
|
$ rust-analyzer analysis-stats .
|
|
💀 💀 💀
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is especially useful when the `repo` doesn't use external crates or the standard library.
|
|
|
|
If you want to go as far as to modify the source code to debug the problem, be sure to take a look at the
|
|
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/docs/dev[dev docs]!
|
|
|
|
== Configuration
|
|

The <<_installation,Installation>> section contains details on configuration for some of the editors.
|
|
In general `rust-analyzer` is configured via LSP messages, which means that it's up to the editor to decide on the exact format and location of configuration files.
|
|
|
|
Some clients, such as <<vs-code,VS Code>> or <<coc-rust-analyzer,COC plugin in Vim>> provide `rust-analyzer` specific configuration UIs. Others may require you to know a bit more about the interaction with `rust-analyzer`.
|
|
|
|
For the later category, it might help to know that the initial configuration is specified as a value of the `initializationOptions` field of the https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-current/#initialize[`InitializeParams` message, in the LSP protocol].
|
|
The spec says that the field type is `any?`, but `rust-analyzer` is looking for a JSON object that is constructed using settings from the list below.
|
|
Name of the setting, ignoring the `rust-analyzer.` prefix, is used as a path, and value of the setting becomes the JSON property value.
|
|
|
|
For example, a very common configuration is to enable proc-macro support, can be achieved by sending this JSON:
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"cargo": {
|
|
"loadOutDirsFromCheck": true,
|
|
},
|
|
"procMacro": {
|
|
"enable": true,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Please consult your editor's documentation to learn more about how to configure https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/[LSP servers].
|
|
|
|
To verify which configuration is actually used by `rust-analyzer`, set `RA_LOG` environment variable to `rust_analyzer=info` and look for config-related messages.
|
|
Logs should show both the JSON that `rust-analyzer` sees as well as the updated config.
|
|
|
|
This is the list of config options `rust-analyzer` supports:

== Non-Cargo Based Projects
|
|
|
|
rust-analyzer does not require Cargo.
|
|
However, if you use some other build system, you'll have to describe the structure of your project for rust-analyzer in the `rust-project.json` format:
|
|
|
|
[source,TypeScript]
|
|
----
|
|
interface JsonProject {
|
|
/// Path to the directory with *source code* of
|
|
/// sysroot crates.
|
|
///
|
|
/// It should point to the directory where std,
|
|
/// core, and friends can be found:
|
|
///
|
|
/// https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/library.
|
|
///
|
|
/// If provided, rust-analyzer automatically adds
|
|
/// dependencies on sysroot crates. Conversely,
|
|
/// if you omit this path, you can specify sysroot
|
|
/// dependencies yourself and, for example, have
|
|
/// several different "sysroots" in one graph of
|
|
/// crates.
|
|
sysroot_src?: string;
|
|
/// The set of crates comprising the current
|
|
/// project. Must include all transitive
|
|
/// dependencies as well as sysroot crate (libstd,
|
|
/// libcore and such).
|
|
crates: Crate[];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
interface Crate {
|
|
/// Optional crate name used for display purposes,
|
|
/// without affecting semantics. See the `deps`
|
|
/// key for semantically-significant crate names.
|
|
display_name?: string;
|
|
/// Path to the root module of the crate.
|
|
root_module: string;
|
|
/// Edition of the crate.
|
|
edition: "2015" | "2018" | "2021";
|
|
/// Dependencies
|
|
deps: Dep[];
|
|
/// Should this crate be treated as a member of
|
|
/// current "workspace".
|
|
///
|
|
/// By default, inferred from the `root_module`
|
|
/// (members are the crates which reside inside
|
|
/// the directory opened in the editor).
|
|
///
|
|
/// Set this to `false` for things like standard
|
|
/// library and 3rd party crates to enable

|
|
is_workspace_member?: boolean;
|
|
/// Optionally specify the (super)set of `.rs`
|
|
/// files comprising this crate.
|
|
///
|
|
/// By default, rust-analyzer assumes that only
|
|
/// files under `root_module.parent` can belong
|
|
/// to a crate. `include_dirs` are included
|
|
/// recursively, unless a subdirectory is in
|
|
/// `exclude_dirs`.
|
|
///
|
|
/// Different crates can share the same `source`.
|
|
///
|
|
/// If two crates share an `.rs` file in common,
|
|
/// they *must* have the same `source`.
|
|
/// rust-analyzer assumes that files from one
|
|
/// source can't refer to files in another source.
|
|
source?: {
|
|
include_dirs: string[],
|
|
exclude_dirs: string[],
|
|
},
|
|
/// The set of cfgs activated for a given crate, like
|
|
/// `["unix", "feature=\"foo\"", "feature=\"bar\""]`.
|
|
cfg: string[];
|
|
/// Target triple for this Crate.
|
|
///
|
|
/// Used when running `rustc --print cfg`
|
|
/// to get target-specific cfgs.
|
|
target?: string;

|
|

|
|
/// proc-macro (.so file).
|
|
proc_macro_dylib_path?: string;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
interface Dep {
|
|
/// Index of a crate in the `crates` array.
|
|
crate: number,
|
|
/// Name as should appear in the (implicit)
|
|
/// `extern crate name` declaration.
|
|
name: string,
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This format is provisional and subject to change.
|
|
Specifically, the `roots` setup will be different eventually.
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to feed `rust-project.json` to rust-analyzer:
|
|
|
|
* Place `rust-project.json` file at the root of the project, and rust-analyzer will discover it.
|
|
* Specify `"rust-analyzer.linkedProjects": [ "path/to/rust-project.json" ]` in the settings (and make sure that your LSP client sends settings as a part of initialize request).
|
|
* Specify `"rust-analyzer.linkedProjects": [ { "roots": [...], "crates": [...] }]` inline.
|
|
|
|
Relative paths are interpreted relative to `rust-project.json` file location or (for inline JSON) relative to `rootUri`.
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-project.json-example for a small example.
|
|
|
|
You can set `RA_LOG` environmental variable to `rust_analyzer=info` to inspect how rust-analyzer handles config and project loading.
|
|
|
|
Note that calls to `cargo check` are disabled when using `rust-project.json` by default, so compilation errors and warnings will no longer be sent to your LSP client. To enable these compilation errors you will need to specify explicitly what command rust-analyzer should run to perform the checks using the `checkOnSave.overrideCommand` configuration. As an example, the following configuration explicitly sets `cargo check` as the `checkOnSave` command.
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.checkOnSave.overrideCommand": ["cargo", "check", "--message-format=json"] }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The `checkOnSave.overrideCommand` requires the command specified to output json error messages for rust-analyzer to consume. The `--message-format=json` flag does this for `cargo check` so whichever command you use must also output errors in this format. See the <<Configuration>> section for more information.
|
|
|
|
== Security
|
|
|
|
At the moment, rust-analyzer assumes that all code is trusted.
|
|
Here is a **non-exhaustive** list of ways to make rust-analyzer execute arbitrary code:
|
|
|
|
* proc macros and build scripts are executed by default
|
|
* `.cargo/config` can override `rustc` with an arbitrary executable
|
|
* `rust-toolchain.toml` can override `rustc` with an arbitrary executable
|
|
* VS Code plugin reads configuration from project directory, and that can be used to override paths to various executables, like `rustfmt` or `rust-analyzer` itself.
|
|
* rust-analyzer's syntax trees library uses a lot of `unsafe` and hasn't been properly audited for memory safety.
|
|
|
|
== Privacy
|
|
|
|
The LSP server performs no network access in itself, but runs `cargo metadata` which will update or download the crate registry and the source code of the project dependencies.
|
|
If enabled (the default), build scripts and procedural macros can do anything.
|
|
|
|
The Code extension automatically connects to GitHub to download updated LSP binaries and, if the nightly channel is selected, to perform update checks using the GitHub API. For `rust-analyzer` developers, using `cargo xtask release` uses the same API to put together the release notes.
|
|
|
|
Any other editor plugins are not under the control of the `rust-analyzer` developers. For any privacy concerns, you should check with their respective developers.
|
|
|
|
== Features
|
|
|
|
include::./generated_features.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
== Assists (Code Actions)
|
|
|
|
Assists, or code actions, are small local refactorings, available in a particular context.
|
|
They are usually triggered by a shortcut or by clicking a light bulb icon in the editor.
|
|
Cursor position or selection is signified by `┃` character.
|
|
|
|
include::./generated_assists.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
== Diagnostics
|
|
|
|
While most errors and warnings provided by rust-analyzer come from the `cargo check` integration, there's a growing number of diagnostics implemented using rust-analyzer's own analysis.
|
|
Some of these diagnostics don't respect `\#[allow]` or `\#[deny]` attributes yet, but can be turned off using the `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.enable`, `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.enableExperimental` or `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.disabled` settings.

==== Color configurations
|
|
|
|
It is possible to change the foreground/background color of inlay hints.
|
|
Just add this to your `settings.json`:
|
|
|
|
[source,jsonc]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
|
|
// Name of the theme you are currently using
|
|
"[Default Dark+]": {
|
|
"rust_analyzer.inlayHints.foreground": "#868686f0",
|
|
"rust_analyzer.inlayHints.background": "#3d3d3d48",
|
|
|
|
// Overrides for specific kinds of inlay hints
|
|
"rust_analyzer.inlayHints.foreground.typeHints": "#fdb6fdf0",
|
|
"rust_analyzer.inlayHints.foreground.paramHints": "#fdb6fdf0",
|
|
"rust_analyzer.inlayHints.background.chainingHints": "#6b0c0c81"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Semantic style customizations
|
|
|
|
You can customize the look of different semantic elements in the source code.
|
|
For example, mutable bindings are underlined by default and you can override this behavior by adding the following section to your `settings.json`:
|
|
|
|
[source,jsonc]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
|
|
"rules": {
|
|
"*.mutable": {
|
|
"fontStyle": "", // underline is the default
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Most themes doesn't support styling unsafe operations differently yet. You can fix this by adding overrides for the rules `operator.unsafe`, `function.unsafe`, and `method.unsafe`:
|
|
|
|
[source,jsonc]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
|
|
"rules": {
|
|
"operator.unsafe": "#ff6600",
|
|
"function.unsafe": "#ff6600"
|
|
"method.unsafe": "#ff6600"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In addition to the top-level rules you can specify overrides for specific themes. For example, if you wanted to use a darker text color on a specific light theme, you might write:
|
|
|
|
[source,jsonc]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
|
|
"rules": {
|
|
"operator.unsafe": "#ff6600"
|
|
},
|
|
"[Ayu Light]": {
|
|
"rules": {
|
|
"operator.unsafe": "#572300"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Make sure you include the brackets around the theme name. For example, use `"[Ayu Light]"` to customize the theme Ayu Light.
|
|
|
|
==== Special `when` clause context for keybindings.
|
|
You may use `inRustProject` context to configure keybindings for rust projects only.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"key": "ctrl+i",
|
|
"command": "rust-analyzer.toggleInlayHints",
|
|
"when": "inRustProject"
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
More about `when` clause contexts https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_when-clause-contexts[here].
|
|
|
|
==== Setting runnable environment variables
|
|
You can use "rust-analyzer.runnableEnv" setting to define runnable environment-specific substitution variables.
|
|
The simplest way for all runnables in a bunch:
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
"rust-analyzer.runnableEnv": {
|
|
"RUN_SLOW_TESTS": "1"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or it is possible to specify vars more granularly:
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
"rust-analyzer.runnableEnv": [
|
|
{
|
|
// "mask": null, // null mask means that this rule will be applied for all runnables
|
|
env: {
|
|
"APP_ID": "1",
|
|
"APP_DATA": "asdf"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"mask": "test_name",
|
|
"env": {
|
|
"APP_ID": "2", // overwrites only APP_ID
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use any valid regular expression as a mask.
|
|
Also note that a full runnable name is something like *run bin_or_example_name*, *test some::mod::test_name* or *test-mod some::mod*, so it is possible to distinguish binaries, single tests, and test modules with this masks: `"^run"`, `"^test "` (the trailing space matters!), and `"^test-mod"` respectively.
|
|
|
|
==== Compiler feedback from external commands
|
|
|
|
Instead of relying on the built-in `cargo check`, you can configure Code to run a command in the background and use the `$rustc-watch` problem matcher to generate inline error markers from its output.
|
|
|
|
To do this you need to create a new https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks[VS Code Task] and set `rust-analyzer.checkOnSave.enable: false` in preferences.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to run https://crates.io/crates/cargo-watch[`cargo watch`] instead, you might add the following to `.vscode/tasks.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"label": "Watch",
|
|
"group": "build",
|
|
"type": "shell",
|
|
"command": "cargo watch",
|
|
"problemMatcher": "$rustc-watch",
|
|
"isBackground": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
