code action filtering
There are two issues with the implementation of `provideCodeActions` introduced in #1439: 1. We're returning the code action based on the file its diagnostic is in; not the file the suggested fix is in. I'm not sure how often fixes are suggested cross-file but it's something we should handle. 2. We're not filtering code actions based on the passed range. The means if there is any suggestion in a file we'll show an action for every line of the file. I naively thought that VS Code would filter for us but that was wrong. Unfortunately the VS Code `CodeAction` object is very complex - it can handle edits across multiple files, run commands, etc. This makes it complex to check them for equality or see if any of their edits intersects with a specified range. To make it easier to work with suggestions this introduces a `SuggestedFix` model object and a `SuggestFixCollection` code action provider. This is a layer between the raw Rust JSON and VS Code's `CodeAction`s. I was reluctant to introduce another layer of abstraction here but my attempt to work directly with VS Code's model objects was worse.
Rust Analyzer
Rust Analyzer is an experimental modular compiler frontend for the Rust language. It is a part of a larger rls-2.0 effort to create excellent IDE support for Rust. If you want to get involved, check the rls-2.0 working group in the compiler-team repository:
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/tree/master/working-groups/rls-2.0
Work on the Rust Analyzer is sponsored by
Language Server Quick Start
Rust Analyzer is a work-in-progress, so you'll have to build it from source, and you might encounter critical bugs. That said, it is complete enough to provide a useful IDE experience and some people use it as a daily driver.
To build rust-analyzer, you need:
- latest stable rust for language server itself
- latest stable npm and VS Code for VS Code extension (
code
should be in path)
For setup for other editors, see ./docs/user.
# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
# install both the language server and VS Code extension
$ cargo install-code
# alternatively, install only the server. Binary name is `ra_lsp_server`.
$ cargo install-lsp
Documentation
If you want to contribute to rust-analyzer or just curious about how things work under the hood, check the ./docs/dev folder.
If you want to use rust-analyzer's language server with your editor of choice, check ./docs/user folder. It also contains some tips & tricks to help you be more productive when using rust-analyzer.
