This feature requires the user to add a command that generates a
`rust-project.json` from a set of files. Project discovery can be invoked
in two ways:
1. At extension activation time, which includes the generated
`rust-project.json` as part of the linkedProjects argument in
InitializeParams
2. Through a new command titled "Add current file to workspace", which
makes use of a new, rust-analyzer specific LSP request that adds
the workspace without erasing any existing workspaces.
I think that the command-running functionality _could_ merit being
placed into its own extension (and expose it via extension contribution
points), if only provide build-system idiomatic progress reporting and
status handling, but I haven't (yet) made an extension that does this.
VS Code problem matcher are restricted to be static "regexes". You can't
create a problem matcher dynamically, and you can't use custom code in
lieu of problem matcher.
This creates a problem for rust/cargo compiler errors. They use paths
relative to the root of the Cargo workspace, but VS Code doesn't
necessary know where that root is.
Luckily, there's a way out: our current problem matcher is defined like
this:
"fileLocation": [ "autoDetect", "${workspaceRoot}" ],
That means that relative pahts would be resoleved relative to workspace
root. VS Code allows to specify a command inside `${}`. So we can plug
custom logic there to fetch Cargo's workspace root!
And that's exactly what this PR is doing!
This is covered under vscode's "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled"
setting plus the user has to have a theme that has opted into highlighting.
