Panic when in a Cargo workspace

[tomaka]

I'm not sure whether I should report this in this repo or in the VSCode plugin repository.

When I'm working on a file of a library that is part of a Cargo workspace, VSCode shows me this output for the RLS:

thread '' panicked at 'could not run cargo: manifest path d:\Projets\vulkano\Cargo.toml is a virtual manifest, but this command requires running against an actual package in this workspace', src\libcore\result.rs:859

Seems to be a vscode problem, I can reproduce it with vscode and current master 2c11ee5. It does not reappear when using other editing clients/plugins such as the Language Server for neovim.

I'm using vscode-rust with freshly installed RLS and I'm getting this problem when I try to format my files, however it does seem that analysis/code completion is working.

@tomaka - do you have a project that repros this?

Does it also happen with our vscode plugin? (https://github.com/jonathandturner/rls_vscode)

[radix]

as I understand it, vscode-rust uses the rls_vscode code. My project pandt can repro it (github.com/radix/pandt), I added a rls.toml file at the root directory that enabled unstable features and tried to run Format Document and got this error.

@radix - in trying some of the radix/pandt subprojects I'm seeing some issues where the rls can't quite handle the projects. If the compiler part of rls fails, then a lot of the features don't work.

@tomaka - I saw this with the project @radix also mentioned. Currently, the RLS doesn't work with a "project of projects" style. You have to point it at the subprojects themselves.

What's perhaps an "easy win" here is to not silently swallow that error. You would not expect the happy status bar in this situation.

What can we do to get progress on this?

@nox: @Xanewok is working on this as we speak! It might take a while to see visible results (we need to make some big changes under the covers), but progress is happening

I'm here from a bug I filed for the vscode-rust extension.

In case it helps, I am still getting errors even when isolating to one cargo project (I was indeed trying project-of-projects before).

RLS logs:

Missing change, aborting. Found 2, expected Some(10)
[Error - 10:05:35 AM] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

and the Rust logging output:

DEBUG: RlsMode: start: rlsPath=rustup 
DEBUG: RlsMode: start: env={} 
DEBUG: RlsMode: start: args=["run","nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu","rls"]

I seem to be getting OK results if I isolate code to a single subproject, but there were errors on the first run that I don't seem to be able to reproduce right now. Now I just see "Analysis Finished" on the subproject, and things seem to mostly work.

When run on the subtitles-rs workspace, I get the same errors as everybody else:

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: CargoError(Msg("manifest path `/home/emk/w/src/subtitles-rs/Cargo.toml` is a virtual manifest, but this command requires running against an actual package in this workspace"), State { next_error: None, backtrace: None })', /checkout/src/libcore/result.rs:860:4
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: "PoisonError { inner: .. }"', /checkout/src/libcore/result.rs:860:4
[Error - 08:20:21] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

Of course, isolating to a single subproject can be frustrating, because then I need to open lots and lots editor windows and Alt-Tab between them. And the project-of-projects design is very tempting in Rust, particularly when the subprojects are reusable, because it drastically reduces compile-times.
