+////
+
+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.
+

+To improve this document, send a pull request: +
+https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/user/manual.adoc[https://github.com/rust-analyzer/.../manual.adoc]
+
+The manual is written in https://asciidoc.org[AsciiDoc] and includes some extra files which are generated from the source code. Run `cargo test` and `cargo test -p xtask` to create these and then `asciidoctor manual.adoc` to create an HTML copy.
+====
+
+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:
+
+image::https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9021944/75067008-17502500-54ba-11ea-835a-f92aac50e866.png[]
+
+[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)
+ 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>>.
+
+== 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

+----
+
+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
+}
+```
