1The main interface to rust-analyzer is the
2[LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) implementation. To
3install lsp server, clone the repository and then run `cargo xtask install
4--server` (which is shorthand for `cargo install --path
5./crates/ra_lsp_server`). This will produce a binary named `ra_lsp_server` which
6you should be able to use it with any LSP-compatible editor. We use custom
7extensions to LSP, so special client-side support is required to take full
8advantage of rust-analyzer. This repository contains support code for VS Code.
9
10```
11$ git clone [email protected]:rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
12$ cargo xtask install --server
13```
14Rust Analyzer needs sources of rust standard library to work, so
15you might also need to execute
16
17```
18$ rustup component add rust-src
19```
20
21See [./features.md](./features.md) document for a list of features that are available.
22
23## VS Code
24
25Prerequisites:
26
27In order to build the VS Code plugin, you need to have node.js and npm with
28a minimum version of 10 installed. Please refer to
29[node.js and npm documentation](https://nodejs.org) for installation instructions.
30
31You will also need the most recent version of VS Code: we don't try to
32maintain compatibility with older versions yet.
33
34### Installation from prebuilt binaries
35
36We ship prebuilt binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows via
37[GitHub releases](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases).
38In order to use them you need to install the client VSCode extension.
39
40Publishing to VSCode marketplace is currently WIP. Thus, you need to clone the repository and install **only** the client extension via
41```
42$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
43$ cd rust-analyzer
44$ cargo xtask install --client-code
45```
46Then open VSCode (or reload the window if it was already running), open some Rust project and you should
47see an info message pop-up.
48
49
50<img height="140px" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png" alt="Download now message"/>
51
52
53Click `Download now`, wait until the progress is 100% and you are ready to go.
54
55For updates you need to remove installed binary
56```
57rm -rf ${HOME}/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer
58```
59
60`"Donwload latest language server"` command for VSCode and automatic updates detection is currently WIP.
61
62
63### Installation from sources
64
65The experimental VS Code plugin can be built and installed by executing the
66following commands:
67
68```
69$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
70$ cd rust-analyzer
71$ cargo xtask install
72```
73
74The automatic installation is expected to *just work* for common cases, if it
75doesn't, report bugs!
76
77**Note** [#1831](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/1831): If you are using the popular
78[Vim emulation plugin](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim), you will likely
79need to turn off the `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping` setting.
80(// 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))
81
82If you have an unusual setup (for example, `code` is not in the `PATH`), you
83should adapt these manual installation instructions:
84
85```
86$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
87$ cd rust-analyzer
88$ cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server/ --force --locked
89$ cd ./editors/code
90$ npm install
91$ npm run package
92$ code --install-extension ./rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix
93```
94
95It's better to remove existing Rust plugins to avoid interference.
96
97Beyond basic LSP features, there are some extension commands which you can
98invoke via <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or bind to a shortcut. See [./features.md](./features.md)
99for details.
100
101For updates, pull the latest changes from the master branch, run `cargo xtask install` again, and **restart** VS Code instance.
102See [microsoft/vscode#72308](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/72308) for why a full restart is needed.
103
104### VS Code Remote
105
106You can also use `rust-analyzer` with the Visual Studio Code Remote extensions
107(Remote SSH, Remote WSL, Remote Containers). In this case, however, you have to
108manually install the `.vsix` package:
109
1101. Build the extension on the remote host using the instructions above (ignore the
111 error if `code` cannot be found in your PATH: VSCode doesn't need to be installed
112 on the remote host).
1132. In Visual Studio Code open a connection to the remote host.
1143. Open the Extensions View (`View > Extensions`, keyboard shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+X`).
1154. From the top-right kebab menu (`ยทยทยท`) select `Install from VSIX...`
1165. Inside the `rust-analyzer` directory find the `editors/code` subdirectory and choose
117 the `rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file.
1186. Restart Visual Studio Code and re-establish the connection to the remote host.
119
120In case of errors please make sure that `~/.cargo/bin` is in your `PATH` on the remote
121host.
122
123### Settings
124
125* `rust-analyzer.highlightingOn`: enables experimental syntax highlighting.
126 Colors can be configured via `editor.tokenColorCustomizations`.
127 As an example, [Pale Fire](https://github.com/matklad/pale-fire/) color scheme tweaks rust colors.
128* `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping`: by default, rust-analyzer intercepts the
129 `Enter` key to make it easier to continue comments. Note that it may conflict with VIM emulation plugin.
130* `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`: path to `ra_lsp_server` executable
131* `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup`: prompt to install & enable `cargo
132 watch` for live error highlighting (note, this **does not** use rust-analyzer)
133* `rust-analyzer.excludeGlobs`: a list of glob-patterns for exclusion (see globset [docs](https://docs.rs/globset) for syntax).
134 Note: glob patterns are applied to all Cargo packages and a rooted at a package root.
135 This is not very intuitive and a limitation of a current implementation.
136* `rust-analyzer.useClientWatching`: use client provided file watching instead
137 of notify watching.
138* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.command`: `cargo-watch` command. (e.g: `clippy` will run as `cargo watch -x clippy` )
139* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.arguments`: cargo-watch check arguments.
140 (e.g: `--features="shumway,pdf"` will run as `cargo watch -x "check --features="shumway,pdf""` )
141* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.ignore`: list of patterns for cargo-watch to ignore (will be passed as `--ignore`)
142* `rust-analyzer.trace.server`: enables internal logging
143* `rust-analyzer.trace.cargo-watch`: enables cargo-watch logging
144* `RUST_SRC_PATH`: environment variable that overwrites the sysroot
145* `rust-analyzer.featureFlags` -- a JSON object to tweak fine-grained behavior:
146 ```jsonc
147 {
148 // Show diagnostics produced by rust-analyzer itself.
149 "lsp.diagnostics": true,
150 // Automatically insert `()` and `<>` when completing functions and types.
151 "completion.insertion.add-call-parenthesis": true,
152 // Enable completions like `.if`, `.match`, etc.
153 "completion.enable-postfix": true,
154 // Show notification when workspace is fully loaded
155 "notifications.workspace-loaded": true,
156 // Show error when no Cargo.toml was found
157 "notifications.cargo-toml-not-found": true,
158 }
159 ```
160
161
162## Emacs
163
164* install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions [here][emacs-lsp]
165* set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`
166* run `lsp` in a Rust buffer
167* (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys
168
169[emacs-lsp]: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode
170
171
172## Vim and NeoVim (coc-rust-analyzer)
173
174* Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at [coc.nvim][] (nodejs required)
175* Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install [coc-rust-analyzer], this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
176 - same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
177 - same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
178 - highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
179

181[coc-rust-analyzer]: https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer
182
183## Vim and NeoVim (LanguageClient-neovim)
184
185* Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions [here][lang-client-neovim]
186 - The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
187
188* Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
189
190```vim
191let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
192\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
193\ }
194```
195
196[lang-client-neovim]: https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim
197
198## NeoVim (nvim-lsp)
199
200NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support. For a quick start configuration
201of rust-analyzer, use [neovim/nvim-lsp](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer).
202Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
203
204
205## Sublime Text 3
206
207Prequisites:
208
209`LSP` package.
210
211Installation:
212
213* Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
214* Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
215* Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
216
217```json
218"rust-analyzer": {
219 "command": ["ra_lsp_server"],
220 "languageId": "rust",
221 "scopes": ["source.rust"],
222 "syntaxes": [
223 "Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
224 "Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
225 ],
226 "initializationOptions": {
227 "featureFlags": {
228 }
229 },
230}
231```
232
233* 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)
234
235### Setting up the `PATH` variable
236
237On Unix systems, `rustup` adds `~/.cargo/bin` to `PATH` by modifying the shell's
238startup file. Depending on your configuration, your Desktop Environment might not
239actually load it. If you find that `rust-analyzer` only runs when starting the
240editor from the terminal, you will have to set up your `PATH` variable manually.
241
242There are a couple of ways to do that:
243
244- for Code, set `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath` to `~/.cargo/bin` (the `~` is
245 automatically resolved by the extension)
246- copy the binary to a location that is already in `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin`
247- on Linux, use PAM to configure the `PATH` variable, by e.g. putting
248 `PATH DEFAULT=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:@{HOME}/.cargo/bin:@{HOME}/.local/bin`
249 in your `~/.pam_environment` file; note that this might interfere with other
250 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.

16
17== Installation
18
19In theory, one should be able to just install the server binary and have it automatically work with any editor.
20We are not there yet, so some editor specific setup is required.
21
22=== VS Code
23
24This the best supported editor at the moment.
25rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
26https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
27
28You can install the latest release of the plugin from
29https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
30By default, the plugin will download the matching version of the server as well.
31
32// FIXME: update the image (its text has changed)
33image::https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png[]
34
35The server binary is stored in `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`.
36
37Note that we only support the latest version of VS Code.
38
39==== Updates
40
41The 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.
42
43==== Building From Source
44
45Alternatively, both the server and the plugin can be installed from source:
46
47[source]
48----
49$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cd rust-analyzer
50$ cargo xtask install
51----
52
53You'll need Cargo, nodejs and npm for this.
54To make VS Code use the freshly build server, add this to the settings:
55
56[source,json]
57----
58{ "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server" }
59----
60
61Note that installing via `xtask install` does not work for VS Code Remote, instead you'll need to install the `.vsix` manually.
62
63=== Language Server Binary
64
65Other editors generally require `ra_lsp_server` binary to be in `$PATH`.
66You can download pre-build binary from
67https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[relases]
68page, or you can install it from source using the following command:
69
70[source,bash]
71----
72$ cargo xtask install --server
73----
74
75=== Emacs
76
77Emacs support is maintained https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[upstream].
78
791. Install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[here].
802. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
813. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
824. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
83
84=== Vim
85
86The are several LSP client implementations for vim:
87
88==== coc-rust-analyzer
89
901. Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at
91 https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim[coc.nvim]
92 (nodejs required)
932. Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install
94 https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer[coc-rust-analyzer],
95 this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
96 * same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
97 * same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
98 * highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
99
100==== LanguageClient-neovim
101
1021. Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions
103 https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim[here]
104 * The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
105
1062. Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
107+
108[source,vim]
109----
110let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
111\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
112\ }
113----
114
115==== nvim-lsp
116
117NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support.
118For a quick start configuration of rust-analyzer, use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer[neovim/nvim-lsp].
119Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
120
121=== Sublime Text 3
