Subject: bug#52107: rust-analyzer shipped broken without rust-src
Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 14:53:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nMycyAkK9vDlP_F9nXTj8gNCytp8oNnd9jrH-eVQVEqio9_QFXsMapzpREfjGpaXN_1XM4fv9ZGwbhbc4FbGehxqotDWXfVRvTdhh3Aeh7o=@nvk.pm> (raw)
Hello Guix,
The rust-analyzer package depends on having a local copy of the rust compiler (rustc) source code available in order for it to function.
Currently, neither the rust-analyzer nor the rust package include rust-src, which means rust-analyzer is broken by default.
On non-guix systems the rustc source code is usually installed using `rustup component add rust-src`.
The workaround I'm currently using is to run `guix build --source rust` followed by adding `export RUST_SRC_PATH=/home/$user/rustc-$version-src/library` to ~/.profile following every rust upgrade.
rust-analyzer is a crucial tool for many rust developers, so this experience should definitely be improved or at least documented.
I am not very familiar with guix and therefore cannot recommend a good way to solve this.
What would possible solutions to this issue be?
Kind regards,
Nicholas
