rust-analyzer.assist.emitMustUse (default: false)

Whether to insert #[must_use] when generating as_ methods for enum variants.

rust-analyzer.assist.expressionFillDefault (default: "todo")

Placeholder expression to use for missing expressions in assists.

rust-analyzer.assist.termSearch.borrowcheck (default: true)

Enable borrow checking for term search code assists. If set to false, also there will be more suggestions, but some of them may not borrow-check.

rust-analyzer.assist.termSearch.fuel (default: 1800)

Term search fuel in "units of work" for assists (Defaults to 1800).

rust-analyzer.cachePriming.enable (default: true)

Warm up caches on project load.

rust-analyzer.cachePriming.numThreads (default: "physical")

How many worker threads to handle priming caches. The default 0 means to pick automatically.

rust-analyzer.cargo.allTargets (default: true)

Pass --all-targets to cargo invocation.

rust-analyzer.cargo.autoreload (default: true)

Automatically refresh project info via cargo metadata on Cargo.toml or .cargo/config.toml changes.

rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.enable (default: true)

Run build scripts (build.rs) for more precise code analysis.

rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.invocationStrategy (default: "per_workspace")

Specifies the invocation strategy to use when running the build scripts command. If per_workspace is set, the command will be executed for each Rust workspace with the workspace as the working directory. If once is set, the command will be executed once with the opened project as the working directory. This config only has an effect when rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.overrideCommand is set.

rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.overrideCommand (default: null)

Override the command rust-analyzer uses to run build scripts and build procedural macros. The command is required to output json and should therefore include --message-format=json or a similar option.

If there are multiple linked projects/workspaces, this command is invoked for each of them, with the working directory being the workspace root (i.e., the folder containing the Cargo.toml). This can be overwritten by changing rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.invocationStrategy.

By default, a cargo invocation will be constructed for the configured targets and features, with the following base command line:

cargo check --quiet --workspace --message-format=json --all-targets --keep-going

.

rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.rebuildOnSave (default: true)

Rerun proc-macros building/build-scripts running when proc-macro or build-script sources change and are saved.

rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.useRustcWrapper (default: true)

Use RUSTC_WRAPPER=rust-analyzer when running build scripts to avoid checking unnecessary things.

rust-analyzer.cargo.cfgs

Default:

{
  "miri": null,
  "debug_assertions": null
}

List of cfg options to enable with the given values.

rust-analyzer.cargo.extraArgs (default: [])

Extra arguments that are passed to every cargo invocation.

rust-analyzer.cargo.extraEnv (default: {})

Extra environment variables that will be set when running cargo, rustc or other commands within the workspace. Useful for setting RUSTFLAGS.

rust-analyzer.cargo.features (default: [])

List of features to activate.

Set this to "all" to pass --all-features to cargo.

rust-analyzer.cargo.noDefaultFeatures (default: false)

Whether to pass --no-default-features to cargo.

rust-analyzer.cargo.sysroot (default: "discover")

Relative path to the sysroot, or "discover" to try to automatically find it via "rustc --print sysroot".

Unsetting this disables sysroot loading.

This option does not take effect until rust-analyzer is restarted.

rust-analyzer.cargo.sysrootSrc (default: null)

Relative path to the sysroot library sources. If left unset, this will default to {cargo.sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library.

This option does not take effect until rust-analyzer is restarted.

rust-analyzer.cargo.target (default: null)

Compilation target override (target triple).

rust-analyzer.cargo.targetDir (default: null)

Optional path to a rust-analyzer specific target directory. This prevents rust-analyzer’s cargo check and initial build-script and proc-macro building from locking the Cargo.lock at the expense of duplicating build artifacts.

Set to true to use a subdirectory of the existing target directory or set to a path relative to the workspace to use that path.

rust-analyzer.cfg.setTest (default: true)

Set cfg(test) for local crates. Defaults to true.

rust-analyzer.checkOnSave (default: true)

Cargo command to use for cargo check.

rust-analyzer.check.extraArgs (default: [])

Extra arguments for cargo check.

rust-analyzer.check.extraEnv (default: {})

Extra environment variables that will be set when running cargo check. Extends rust-analyzer.cargo.extraEnv.

rust-analyzer.check.features (default: null)

List of features to activate. Defaults to rust-analyzer.cargo.features.

Set to "all" to pass --all-features to Cargo.

rust-analyzer.check.ignore (default: [])

List of cargo check (or other command specified in check.command) diagnostics to ignore.

For example for cargo check: dead_code, unused_imports, unused_variables,…​

rust-analyzer.check.invocationStrategy (default: "per_workspace")

Specifies the invocation strategy to use when running the check command. If per_workspace is set, the command will be executed for each workspace. If once is set, the command will be executed once. This config only has an effect when rust-analyzer.check.overrideCommand is set.

rust-analyzer.check.noDefaultFeatures (default: null)

Whether to pass --no-default-features to Cargo. Defaults to rust-analyzer.cargo.noDefaultFeatures.

rust-analyzer.check.overrideCommand (default: null)

Override the command rust-analyzer uses instead of cargo check for diagnostics on save. The command is required to output json and should therefore include --message-format=json or a similar option (if your client supports the colorDiagnosticOutput experimental capability, you can use --message-format=json-diagnostic-rendered-ansi).

If you’re changing this because you’re using some tool wrapping Cargo, you might also want to change rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.overrideCommand.

If there are multiple linked projects/workspaces, this command is invoked for each of them, with the working directory being the workspace root (i.e., the folder containing the Cargo.toml). This can be overwritten by changing rust-analyzer.check.invocationStrategy.

If $saved_file is part of the command, rust-analyzer will pass the absolute path of the saved file to the provided command. This is intended to be used with non-Cargo build systems. Note that $saved_file is experimental and may be removed in the future.

An example command would be:

cargo check --workspace --message-format=json --all-targets

.

rust-analyzer.check.targets (default: null)

Check for specific targets. Defaults to rust-analyzer.cargo.target if empty.

Can be a single target, e.g. "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" or a list of targets, e.g. ["aarch64-apple-darwin", "x86_64-apple-darwin"].

Aliased as "checkOnSave.targets".

Whether to automatically add a semicolon when completing unit-returning functions.

In match arms it completes a comma instead.

rust-analyzer.completion.autoimport.enable (default: true)

rust-analyzer.typing.autoClosingAngleBrackets.enable (default: false)

Whether to insert closing angle brackets when typing an opening angle bracket of a generic argument list.

rust-analyzer.workspace.discoverConfig (default: null)

Enables automatic discovery of projects using [DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command].

[DiscoverWorkspaceConfig] also requires setting progress_label and files_to_watch. progress_label is used for the title in progress indicators, whereas files_to_watch is used to determine which build system-specific files should be watched in order to reload rust-analyzer.

Below is an example of a valid configuration:

"rust-analyzer.workspace.discoverConfig": {
    "command": [
        "rust-project",
        "develop-json"
    ],
    "progressLabel": "rust-analyzer",
    "filesToWatch": [
        "BUCK"
    ]
}

## On DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command

Warning: This format is provisional and subject to change.

[DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command] must return a JSON object corresponding to DiscoverProjectData::Finished:

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize, Serialize)]
#[serde(tag = "kind")]
#[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")]
enum DiscoverProjectData {
    Finished { buildfile: Utf8PathBuf, project: ProjectJsonData },
    Error { error: String, source: Option<String> },
    Progress { message: String },
}

As JSON, DiscoverProjectData::Finished is:

{
    // the internally-tagged representation of the enum.
    "kind": "finished",
    // the file used by a non-Cargo build system to define
    // a package or target.
    "buildfile": "rust-analyzer/BUILD",
    // the contents of a rust-project.json, elided for brevity
    "project": {
        "sysroot": "foo",
        "crates": []
    }
}

It is encouraged, but not required, to use the other variants on DiscoverProjectData to provide a more polished end-user experience.

DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command may optionally include an {arg}, which will be substituted with the JSON-serialized form of the following enum:

#[derive(PartialEq, Clone, Debug, Serialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub enum DiscoverArgument {
   Path(AbsPathBuf),
   Buildfile(AbsPathBuf),
}

The JSON representation of DiscoverArgument::Path is:

{
    "path": "src/main.rs"
}

Similarly, the JSON representation of DiscoverArgument::Buildfile is:

{
    "buildfile": "BUILD"
}

DiscoverArgument::Path is used to find and generate a rust-project.json, and therefore, a workspace, whereas DiscoverArgument::buildfile is used to to update an existing workspace. As a reference for implementors, buck2’s rust-project will likely be useful: https://github.com/facebook/buck2/tree/main/integrations/rust-project.
