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!
Inlay hints are no longer something specifc to r-a as it has been
upstreamed into the LSP, we don't have a reason to give the config
for this feature special treatment in regards to toggling. There are
plenty of other options out there in the VSCode marketplace to create
toggle commands/hotkeys for configurations in general which I believe
we should nudge people towards instead.
This PR will fix some typos detected by [typos].
There are also some other typos in the function names, variable names, and file
names, which I leave as they are. I'm more certain that typos in comments
should be fixed.
