|
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.

|
|
|
|
== 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== Toolchain
|
|
|
|
Only the latest stable standard library source is officially supported for use with rust-analyzer.
|
|
If you are using an older toolchain or have an override set, rust-analyzer may fail to understand the Rust source.
|
|
You will either need to update your toolchain or use an older version of rust-analyzer that is compatible with your toolchain.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an override in your project, you can still force rust-analyzer to use the stable toolchain via the environment variable `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN`.
|
|
For example, with VS Code or coc-rust-analyzer:
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.server.extraEnv": { "RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN": "stable" } }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== VS Code
|
|
|
|
This is the best supported editor at the moment.
|
|
The rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
|
|
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
|
|
|
|
You can install the latest release of the plugin from
|
|
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
|
|
|
|
Note that the plugin may cause conflicts with the
|
|
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust[previous official Rust plugin].
|
|
The latter is no longer maintained and should be uninstalled.
|
|
|
|
The server binary is stored in the extension install directory, which starts with `rust-lang.rust-analyzer-` and is located under:
|
|
|
|
* Linux: `~/.vscode/extensions`
|
|
* Linux (Remote, such as WSL): `~/.vscode-server/extensions`
|
|
* macOS: `~/.vscode/extensions`
|
|
* Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions`
|
|
|
|
As an exception, on NixOS, the extension makes a copy of the server and stores it under `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/rust-lang.rust-analyzer`.
|
|
|
|
Note that we only support the 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 by testing the newest code, you can enable pre-release versions in the Code extension page.
|
|
|
|
==== Manual installation
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, download a VSIX corresponding to your platform from the
|
|
https://github.com/rust-lang/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
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you are running an unsupported platform, you can install `rust-analyzer-no-server.vsix` and compile or obtain a server binary.
|
|
Copy the server 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
|
|
|
|
Both the server and the Code plugin can be installed from source:
|
|
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
|
|
$ cargo xtask install
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You'll need Cargo, nodejs (matching a supported version of VS Code) 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
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Make sure that `.cargo/bin` is in `$PATH` and precedes paths where `rust-analyzer` may also be installed.
|
|
Specifically, `rustup` includes a proxy called `rust-analyzer`, which can cause problems if you're planning to use a source build or even a downloaded binary.
|
|
|
|
=== rust-analyzer Language Server Binary
|
|
|
|
Other editors generally require the `rust-analyzer` binary to be in `$PATH`.
|
|
You can download pre-built binaries from the https://github.com/rust-lang/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]
|
|
----
|
|
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
|
|
$ curl -L https://github.com/rust-lang/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.
|
|
|
|
You don't have to use `~/.local/bin`, any other path like `~/.cargo/bin` or `/usr/local/bin` will work just as well.
|
|
|
|
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-lang/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-lang/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`:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ rustup component add rust-analyzer
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
The `rust-analyzer` binary can be installed from the repos or AUR (Arch User Repository):
|
|
|
|
- https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/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
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to install `rust-analyzer` under Gentoo:
|
|
|
|
- when installing `dev-lang/rust` or `dev-lang/rust-bin`, enable the `rust-analyzer` and `rust-src` USE flags
|
|
- use the `rust-analyzer` component in `rustup` (see instructions above)
|
|
|
|
Note that in both cases, the version installed lags for a couple of months behind the official releases on GitHub.
|
|
To obtain a newer one, you can download a binary from GitHub Releases or building from source.
|
|
|
|
==== macOS
|
|
|
|
The `rust-analyzer` binary can be installed via https://brew.sh/[Homebrew].
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ brew install rust-analyzer
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== VS Code or VSCodium in Flatpak
|
|
|
|
Setting up `rust-analyzer` with a Flatpak version of Code is not trivial because of the Flatpak sandbox.
|
|
While the sandbox can be disabled for some directories, `/usr/bin` will always be mounted under `/run/host/usr/bin`.
|
|
This prevents access to the system's C compiler, a system-wide installation of Rust, or any other libraries you might want to link to.
|
|
Some compilers and libraries can be acquired as Flatpak SDKs, such as `org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable` or `org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm15`.
|
|
|
|
If you use a Flatpak SDK for Rust, there should be no extra steps necessary.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Flatpak in combination with `rustup`, the following steps might help:
|
|
|
|
- both Rust and `rustup` have to be installed using https://rustup.rs. Distro packages _will not_ work.
|
|
- you need to launch Code, open a terminal and run `echo $PATH`
|
|
- using https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal[Flatseal], you must add an environment variable called `PATH`.
|
|
Set its value to the output from above, appending `:~/.cargo/bin`, where `~` is the path to your home directory.
|
|
You must replace `~`, as it won't be expanded otherwise.
|
|
- while Flatseal is open, you must enable access to "All user files"
|
|
|
|
A C compiler should already be available via `org.freedesktop.Sdk`.
|
|
Any other tools or libraries you will need to acquire from Flatpak.
|
|
|
|
=== Emacs
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites: You have installed the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
|
|
|
|
To use `rust-analyzer`, you need to install and enable one of the two popular LSP client implementations for Emacs, https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot[Eglot] or https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[LSP Mode]. Both enable `rust-analyzer` by default in rust buffers if it is available.
|
|
|
|
==== Eglot
|
|
|
|
Eglot is the more minimalistic and lightweight LSP client for Emacs, integrates well with existing Emacs functionality and is built into Emacs starting from release 29.
|
|
|
|
After installing Eglot, e.g. via `M-x package-install` (not needed from Emacs 29), you can enable it via the `M-x eglot` command or load it automatically in `rust-mode` via
|
|
|
|
[source,emacs-lisp]
|
|
----
|
|
(add-hook 'rust-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To enable clippy, you will need to configure the initialization options to pass the `check.command` setting.
|
|
|
|
[source,emacs-lisp]
|
|
----
|
|
(add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs
|
|
'((rust-ts-mode rust-mode) .
|
|
("rust-analyzer" :initializationOptions (:check (:command "clippy")))))
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
For more detailed instructions and options see the https://joaotavora.github.io/eglot[Eglot manual] (also available from Emacs via `M-x info`) and the
|
|
https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/blob/master/README.md[Eglot readme].
|
|
|
|
Eglot does not support the rust-analyzer extensions to the language-server protocol and does not aim to do so in the future. The https://github.com/nemethf/eglot-x#rust-analyzer-extensions[eglot-x] package adds experimental support for those LSP extensions.
|
|
|
|
==== LSP Mode
|
|
|
|
LSP-mode is the original LSP-client for emacs. Compared to Eglot it has a larger codebase and supports more features, like LSP protocol extensions.
|
|
With extension packages like https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[LSP UI] it offers a lot of visual eyecandy.
|
|
Further it integrates well with https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode[DAP mode] for support of the Debug Adapter Protocol.
|
|
|
|
You can install LSP-mode via `M-x package-install` and then run it via the `M-x lsp` command or load it automatically in rust buffers with
|
|
|
|
[source,emacs-lisp]
|
|
----
|
|
(add-hook 'rust-mode-hook 'lsp-deferred)
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to set up LSP mode and its extension package see the instructions in the https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/installation[LSP mode manual].
|
|
Also see the https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/lsp-rust-analyzer/[rust-analyzer section] for `rust-analyzer` specific options and commands, which you can optionally bind to keys.
|
|
|
|
Note the excellent https://robert.kra.hn/posts/2021-02-07_rust-with-emacs/[guide] from https://github.com/rksm[@rksm] on how to set-up Emacs for Rust development with LSP mode and several other packages.
|
|
|
|
=== 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.
|
|
|
|
There 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_
|
|
|
|
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"] = {
|
|
imports = {
|
|
granularity = {
|
|
group = "module",
|
|
},
|
|
prefix = "self",
|
|
},
|
|
cargo = {
|
|
buildScripts = {
|
|
enable = 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': {
|
|
\ 'buildScripts': {
|
|
\ 'enable': v:true,
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ 'procMacro': {
|
|
\ 'enable': v:true,
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ },
|
|
\ })
|
|
endif
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== Sublime Text
|
|
|
|
==== Sublime Text 4:
|
|
* Follow the instructions in link:https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-rust-analyzer[LSP-rust-analyzer].
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Install link:https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-file-watcher-chokidar[LSP-file-watcher-chokidar] to enable file watching (`workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles`).
|
|
|
|
==== Sublime Text 3:
|
|
* Install the <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.
|
|
* Install the link:https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP[LSP package].
|
|
* From the command palette, run `LSP: Enable Language Server Globally` and select `rust-analyzer`.
|
|
|
|
If it worked, you should see "rust-analyzer, Line X, Column Y" on the left side of the status bar, and after waiting a bit, functionalities 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 rust-analyzer for Rust sources since Kate 21.12.
|
|
|
|
To change rust-analyzer config options, start from the following example and put it into Kate's "User Server Settings" tab (located under the LSP Client settings):
|

=== 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.
|
|
|
|
=== Kakoune
|
|
|
|
https://kakoune.org/[Kakoune] supports LSP with the help of https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp[`kak-lsp`].
|
|
Follow the https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp#installation[instructions] to install `kak-lsp`.
|
|
To configure `kak-lsp`, refer to the https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp#configuring-kak-lsp[configuration section] which is basically about copying the https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp/blob/master/kak-lsp.toml[configuration file] in the right place (latest versions should use `rust-analyzer` by default).
|
|
|
|
Finally, you need to configure Kakoune to talk to `kak-lsp` (see https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp#usage[Usage section]).
|
|
A basic configuration will only get you LSP but you can also activate inlay diagnostics and auto-formatting on save.
|
|
The following might help you get all of this.
|
|
|
|
[source,txt]
|
|
----
|
|
eval %sh{kak-lsp --kakoune -s $kak_session} # Not needed if you load it with plug.kak.
|
|
hook global WinSetOption filetype=rust %{
|
|
# Enable LSP
|
|
lsp-enable-window
|
|
|
|
# Auto-formatting on save
|
|
hook window BufWritePre .* lsp-formatting-sync
|
|
|
|
# Configure inlay hints (only on save)
|
|
hook window -group rust-inlay-hints BufWritePost .* rust-analyzer-inlay-hints
|
|
hook -once -always window WinSetOption filetype=.* %{
|
|
remove-hooks window rust-inlay-hints
|
|
}
|
|
}
|

----
|
|
|
|
=== Helix
|
|
|
|
https://docs.helix-editor.com/[Helix] supports LSP by default.
|
|
However, it won't install `rust-analyzer` automatically.
|
|
You can follow instructions for installing <<rust-analyzer-language-server-binary,`rust-analyzer` binary>>.

|
https://lapce.dev/[Lapce] has a Rust plugin which you can install directly.
|
|
Unfortunately, it downloads an old version of `rust-analyzer`, but you can set the server path under Settings.
|
|
|
|
=== Crates
|
|
|
|
There is a package named `ra_ap_rust_analyzer` available on https://crates.io/crates/ra_ap_rust-analyzer[crates.io], for someone who wants to use it programmatically.
|
|
|
|
For more details, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/.github/workflows/publish.yml[the publish workflow].
|
|
|
|
=== Zed
|
|
|
|
https://zed.dev[Zed] has native `rust-analyzer` support.
|
|
If the LSP binary is not available, Zed can install it when opening a Rust file.
|
|
|
|
== Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Start with looking at the rust-analyzer version.
|
|
Try **rust-analyzer: Show RA Version** in VS Code (using **Command Palette** feature typically activated by Ctrl+Shift+P) or `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 them in the `Output > Rust Analyzer Language Server` tab of the panel.
|
|
To see more logs, set the `RA_LOG=info` environment variable, this can be done either by setting the environment variable manually or by using `rust-analyzer.server.extraEnv`, note that both of these approaches require the server to be restarted.
|
|
|
|
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-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/docs/dev[dev docs]!
|
|
|
|
== Configuration
|
|
|
|
**Source:** https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/crates/rust-analyzer/src/config.rs[config.rs]
|
|
|
|
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": {
|
|
"buildScripts": {
|
|
"enable": 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:
|
|
|
|
include::./generated_config.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
== 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 sysroot directory.

|
|
----
|
|
|
|
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 the `RA_LOG` environment 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 `rust-analyzer.check.overrideCommand` configuration.
|
|
As an example, the following configuration explicitly sets `cargo check` as the `check` command.
|
|
|
|
[source,json]
|
|
----
|
|
{ "rust-analyzer.check.overrideCommand": ["cargo", "check", "--message-format=json"] }
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`check.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 does not access the network.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For `rust-analyzer` developers, `cargo xtask release` uses the GitHub API to put together the release notes.
|
|
|
|
== 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.experimental.enable` or `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.disabled` settings.
|
|
|
|
=== Clippy
|
|
|
|
To run `cargo clippy` instead of `cargo check`, you can set `"rust-analyzer.check.command": "clippy"`.
|
|
|
|
include::./generated_diagnostic.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
== Editor Features
|
|
=== VS Code
|
|
|
|
==== Color configurations
|
|
|
|
It is possible to change the foreground/background color and font family/size of inlay hints.
|
|
Just add this to your `settings.json`:
|
|
|
|
[source,jsonc]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"editor.inlayHints.fontFamily": "Courier New",
|
|
"editor.inlayHints.fontSize": 11,
|
|
|
|
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
|
|
// Name of the theme you are currently using
|
|
"[Default Dark+]": {
|
|
"editorInlayHint.foreground": "#868686f0",
|
|
"editorInlayHint.background": "#3d3d3d48",
|
|
|
|
// Overrides for specific kinds of inlay hints
|
|
"editorInlayHint.typeForeground": "#fdb6fdf0",
|
|
"editorInlayHint.parameterForeground": "#fdb6fdf0",
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
==== 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+alt+d",
|
|
"command": "rust-analyzer.openDocs",
|
|
"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.runnables.extraEnv" setting to define runnable environment-specific substitution variables.
|
|
The simplest way for all runnables in a bunch:
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
"rust-analyzer.runnables.extraEnv": {
|
|
"RUN_SLOW_TESTS": "1"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or it is possible to specify vars more granularly:
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
"rust-analyzer.runnables.extraEnv": [
|
|
{
|
|
// "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.
|
|
|
|
If needed, you can set different values for different platforms:
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
"rust-analyzer.runnables.extraEnv": [
|
|
{
|
|
"platform": "win32", // windows only
|
|
"env": {
|
|
"APP_DATA": "windows specific data"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"platform": ["linux"],
|
|
"env": {
|
|
"APP_DATA": "linux data",
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{ // for all platforms
|
|
"env": {
|
|
"APP_COMMON_DATA": "xxx",
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|

==== 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 `$rustc-watch` problem matcher to generate inline error markers from its output.
|
|
|
|
To do this you need to create a new https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks[VS Code Task] and set `"rust-analyzer.checkOnSave": false` in preferences.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to run https://crates.io/crates/cargo-watch[`cargo watch`] instead, you might add the following to `.vscode/tasks.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"label": "Watch",
|
|
"group": "build",
|
|
"type": "shell",
|
|
"command": "cargo watch",
|
|
"problemMatcher": "$rustc-watch",
|
|
"isBackground": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
==== Live Share
|
|
|
|
VS Code Live Share has partial support for rust-analyzer.
|
|
|
|
Live Share _requires_ the official Microsoft build of VS Code, OSS builds will not work correctly.
|
|
|
|
The host's rust-analyzer instance will be shared with all guests joining the session.
|
|
The guests do not have to have the rust-analyzer extension installed for this to work.
|
|
|
|
If you are joining a Live Share session and _do_ have rust-analyzer installed locally, commands from the command palette will not work correctly since they will attempt to communicate with the local server.
