1[github-releases]: https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases
2
3The main interface to rust-analyzer is the
4[LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) implementation. To
5install lsp server, you have three options:
6
7* **Preferred and default:** install the plugin/extension for your IDE and it will ask your permission to automatically download the latest lsp server for you from [GitHub releases][github-releases]. (See docs to find out whether this is implemented for your editor below).
8* Manually download prebuilt binaries from [GitHub releases][github-releases]
9 * `ra_lsp_server-linux` for Linux
10 * `ra_lsp_server-mac` for Mac
11 * `ra_lsp_server-windows.exe` for Windows
12* Clone the repository and build from sources
13```bash
14$ git clone [email protected]:rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
15$ cargo xtask install --server # or cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server
16```
17
18This way you will get a binary named `ra_lsp_server` (with os suffix for prebuilt binaries)
19which you should be able to use with any LSP-compatible editor.
20
21We make use of custom extensions to LSP, so special client-side support is required to take full
22advantage of rust-analyzer. This repository contains support code for VS Code.
23
24Rust Analyzer needs sources of rust standard library to work, so
25you might also need to execute
26
27```
28$ rustup component add rust-src
29```
30
31See [./features.md](./features.md) document for a list of features that are available.
32
33## VS Code
34
35### Prerequisites
36
37You will need the most recent version of VS Code: we don't try to
38maintain compatibility with older versions yet.
39
40### Installation from prebuilt binaries
41
42We ship prebuilt binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows via
43[GitHub releases][github-releases].
44In order to use them you need to install the client VSCode extension.
45
46Publishing to VS Code marketplace is currently WIP. Thus, you need to manually download
47`rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file from latest [GitHub release][github-releases].
48
49After you downloaded the `.vsix` file you can install it from the terminal
50
51```
52$ code --install-extension rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix
53```
54
55Or open VS Code, press <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>, and search for the following command:
56
57<img width="500px" alt="Install from VSIX command" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74108225-c0c11d80-4b80-11ea-9b2a-0a43f09e29af.png">
58
59Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> and go to `rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file through the file explorer.
60
61Then open some Rust project and you should
62see an info message pop-up.
63
64<img height="140px" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png" alt="Download now message"/>
65
66
67Click `Download now`, wait until the progress is 100% and you are ready to go.
68
69For updates you need to remove installed binary
70```
71rm -rf ${HOME}/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer
72```
73
74`"Download latest language server"` command for VSCode and automatic updates detection is currently WIP.
75
76
77### Installation from sources
78
79In order to build the VS Code plugin from sources, you need to have node.js and npm with
80a minimum version of 12 installed. Please refer to
81[node.js and npm documentation](https://nodejs.org) for installation instructions.
82
83The experimental VS Code plugin can be built and installed by executing the
84following commands:
85
86```
87$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
88$ cd rust-analyzer
89$ cargo xtask install
90```
91
92After that you need to amend your `settings.json` file to explicitly specify the
93path to `ra_lsp_server` that you've just built.
94```json
95{
96 "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server"
97}
98```
99This should work on all platforms, otherwise if installed `ra_lsp_server` is not available through your `$PATH` then see how to configure it [here](#setting-up-the-PATH-variable).
100
101
102The automatic installation is expected to *just work* for common cases, if it
103doesn't, report bugs!
104
105**Note** [#1831](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/1831): If you are using the popular
106[Vim emulation plugin](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim), you will likely
107need to turn off the `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping` setting.
108(// TODO: This configuration is no longer available, enhanced typing shoud be disabled via removing Enter key binding, [see this issue](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/3051))
109
110If you have an unusual setup (for example, `code` is not in the `PATH`), you
111should adapt these manual installation instructions:
112
113```
114$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
115$ cd rust-analyzer
116$ cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server/ --force --locked
117$ cd ./editors/code
118$ npm install
119$ npm run package
120$ code --install-extension ./rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix
121```
122
123It's better to remove existing Rust plugins to avoid interference.
124
125Beyond basic LSP features, there are some extension commands which you can
126invoke via <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or bind to a shortcut. See [./features.md](./features.md)
127for details.
128
129For updates, pull the latest changes from the master branch, run `cargo xtask install` again, and **restart** VS Code instance.
130See [microsoft/vscode#72308](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/72308) for why a full restart is needed.
131
132### VS Code Remote
133
134You can also use `rust-analyzer` with the Visual Studio Code Remote extensions
135(Remote SSH, Remote WSL, Remote Containers). In this case, however, you have to
136manually install the `.vsix` package:
137
1381. Build the extension on the remote host using the instructions above (ignore the
139 error if `code` cannot be found in your PATH: VSCode doesn't need to be installed
140 on the remote host).
1412. In Visual Studio Code open a connection to the remote host.
1423. Open the Extensions View (`View > Extensions`, keyboard shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+X`).
1434. From the top-right kebab menu (`ยทยทยท`) select `Install from VSIX...`
1445. Inside the `rust-analyzer` directory find the `editors/code` subdirectory and choose
145 the `rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file.
1466. Restart Visual Studio Code and re-establish the connection to the remote host.
147
148In case of errors please make sure that `~/.cargo/bin` is in your `PATH` on the remote
149host.
150
151### Settings
152
153* `rust-analyzer.highlightingOn`: enables experimental syntax highlighting.
154 Colors can be configured via `editor.tokenColorCustomizations`.
155 As an example, [Pale Fire](https://github.com/matklad/pale-fire/) color scheme tweaks rust colors.
156* `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping`: by default, rust-analyzer intercepts the
157 `Enter` key to make it easier to continue comments. Note that it may conflict with VIM emulation plugin.
158* `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`: path to `ra_lsp_server` executable, when absent or `null` defaults to prebuilt binary path
159* `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup`: prompt to install & enable `cargo
160 watch` for live error highlighting (note, this **does not** use rust-analyzer)
161* `rust-analyzer.excludeGlobs`: a list of glob-patterns for exclusion (see globset [docs](https://docs.rs/globset) for syntax).
162 Note: glob patterns are applied to all Cargo packages and a rooted at a package root.
163 This is not very intuitive and a limitation of a current implementation.
164* `rust-analyzer.useClientWatching`: use client provided file watching instead
165 of notify watching.
166* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.command`: `cargo-watch` command. (e.g: `clippy` will run as `cargo watch -x clippy` )
167* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.arguments`: cargo-watch check arguments.
168 (e.g: `--features="shumway,pdf"` will run as `cargo watch -x "check --features="shumway,pdf""` )
169* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.ignore`: list of patterns for cargo-watch to ignore (will be passed as `--ignore`)
170* `rust-analyzer.trace.server`: enables internal logging
171* `rust-analyzer.trace.cargo-watch`: enables cargo-watch logging
172* `RUST_SRC_PATH`: environment variable that overwrites the sysroot
173* `rust-analyzer.featureFlags` -- a JSON object to tweak fine-grained behavior:
174 ```jsonc
175 {
176 // Show diagnostics produced by rust-analyzer itself.
177 "lsp.diagnostics": true,
178 // Automatically insert `()` and `<>` when completing functions and types.
179 "completion.insertion.add-call-parenthesis": true,
180 // Enable completions like `.if`, `.match`, etc.
181 "completion.enable-postfix": true,
182 // Show notification when workspace is fully loaded
183 "notifications.workspace-loaded": true,
184 // Show error when no Cargo.toml was found
185 "notifications.cargo-toml-not-found": true,
186 }
187 ```
188
189
190## Emacs
191
192* install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions [here][emacs-lsp]
193* set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`
194* run `lsp` in a Rust buffer
195* (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys
196
197[emacs-lsp]: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode
198
199
200## Vim and NeoVim (coc-rust-analyzer)
201
202* Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at [coc.nvim][] (nodejs required)
203* Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install [coc-rust-analyzer], this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
204 - same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
205 - same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
206 - highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
207

209[coc-rust-analyzer]: https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer
210
211## Vim and NeoVim (LanguageClient-neovim)
212
213* Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions [here][lang-client-neovim]
214 - The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
215
216* Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
217
218```vim
219let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
220\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
221\ }
222```
223
224[lang-client-neovim]: https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim
225
226## NeoVim (nvim-lsp)
227
228NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support. For a quick start configuration
229of rust-analyzer, use [neovim/nvim-lsp](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer).
230Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
231
232
233## Sublime Text 3
234
235Prequisites:
236
237`LSP` package.
238
239Installation:
240
241* Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
242* Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
243* Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
244
245```json
246"rust-analyzer": {
247 "command": ["ra_lsp_server"],
248 "languageId": "rust",
249 "scopes": ["source.rust"],
250 "syntaxes": [
251 "Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
252 "Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
253 ],
254 "initializationOptions": {
255 "featureFlags": {
256 }
257 },
258}
259```
260
261* You can now invoke the command palette and type LSP enable to locally/globally enable the rust-analyzer LSP (type LSP enable, then choose either locally or globally, then select rust-analyzer)
262
263
264<!-- Update links to this header when changing it! -->
265### Setting up the `PATH` variable
266
267On Unix systems, `rustup` adds `~/.cargo/bin` to `PATH` by modifying the shell's
268startup file. Depending on your configuration, your Desktop Environment might not
269actually load it. If you find that `rust-analyzer` only runs when starting the
270editor from the terminal, you will have to set up your `PATH` variable manually.
271
272There are a couple of ways to do that:
273
274- for Code, set `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath` to `~/.cargo/bin` (the `~` is
275 automatically resolved by the extension)
276- copy the binary to a location that is already in `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin`
277- on Linux, use PAM to configure the `PATH` variable, by e.g. putting
278 `PATH DEFAULT=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:@{HOME}/.cargo/bin:@{HOME}/.local/bin`
279 in your `~/.pam_environment` file; note that this might interfere with other
280 defaults set by the system administrator via `/etc/environment`.

9At it's core, rust-analyzer is a *library* for semantic analysis of the Rust code as it changes over time.
10This manual focuses on a specific usage of the library -- the implementation of
11https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/[Language Server Protocol].
12LSP allows various code editors, like VS Code, Emacs or Vim, to implement semantic feature like completion or goto definition by talking to an external language server process.
13
14== Installation
15
16In theory, one should be able to just install the server binary and have it automatically work with any editor.
17We are not there yet, so some editor specific setup is required.
18
19=== VS Code
20
21This the best supported editor at the moment.
22rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
23https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
24
25You can install the latest release of the plugin from
26https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
27By default, the plugin will download the latest version of the server as well.
28
29image::https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png[]
30
31The server binary is stored in `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`.
32
33Note that we only support the latest version of VS Code.
34
35==== Updates
36
37The extension will be updated automatically as new versions become available.
38The server update functionality is in progress.
39For the time being, the workaround is to remove the binary from `globalStorage` and to restart the extension.
40
41==== Building From Source
42
43Alternatively, both the server and the plugin can be installed from source:
44
45[source]
46----
47$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cs rust-analyzer
48$ cargo xtask install
49----
50
51You'll need Cargo, nodejs and npm for this.
52To make VS Code use the freshly build server, add this to the settings:
53
54[source,json]
55----
56{ "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server" }
57----
58
59Note that installing via `xtask install` does not work for VS Code Remote, instead you'll need to install the `.vsix` manually.
60
61=== Language Server Binary
62
63Other editors generally require `ra_lsp_server` binary to be in `$PATH`.
64You can download pre-build binary from
65https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[relases]
66page, or you can install it from source using the following command:
67
68[source,bash]
69----
70$ cargo xtask install --server
71----
72
73=== Emacs
74
75Emacs support is maintained https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[upstream].
76
771. Install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[here].
782. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
793. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
804. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
81
82=== Vim
83
84The are several LSP client implementations for vim:
85
86==== coc-rust-analyzer
87
881. Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at
89 https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim[coc.nvim]
90 (nodejs required)
912. Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install
92 https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer[coc-rust-analyzer],
93 this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
94 * same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
95 * same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
96 * highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
97
98==== LanguageClient-neovim
99
1001. Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions
101 https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim[here]
102 * The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
103
1042. Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
105+
106[source,vim]
107----
108let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
109\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
110\ }
111----
112
113==== nvim-lsp
114
115NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support.
116For a quick start configuration of rust-analyzer, use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer[neovim/nvim-lsp].
117Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
118
119=== Sublime Text 3
