|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== 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[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 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
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
=== 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`, but only in the nightly toolchain:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
$ rustup +nightly component add rust-analyzer-preview
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
However, in contrast to `component add clippy` or `component add rustfmt`, this does not actually place a `rust-analyzer` binary in `~/.cargo/bin`, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/2411[this issue].
|
|
|
|
==== 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?id=9895cea62602cfe599bd48e0fb02127411ca6e81[`dev-util/rust-analyzer`] builds from source
|
|
- https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git/tree/dev-util/rust-analyzer-bin?id=9895cea62602cfe599bd48e0fb02127411ca6e81[`dev-util/rust-analyzer-bin`] installs an official binary release
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Earlier versions allow 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-lang/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.
|
|
|
|
=== 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)

=== 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>>.
|
|
|
|
== 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 then 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 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 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 `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 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.

== 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.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
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
