I will prepare another alpha version tomorrow and make it available.

Great! Looking forward to it.

I’ve opened an issue that I wanted to wait for before releasing a new version.

Hi Ekopalypse:
I’m in the midst of learning Rust, amongst a few other new languages.
I installed your latest version of NppLspClient.
Following your instructions, I tried to install a Language Server for Rust, they mentioned that the OLD version of RLS is no longer supported (deprecated I think) and recommended using rust-analyzer.
Here is the link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rls
I have rust-analyzer installed in Visual Studio Code w022 but was unsure how to install it for Notepad++.

Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Murray

Either download a pre-built binary or clone their repo and build it yourself, which is what I do to stay up to date.

My config for rust looks like this

[lspservers.rust]
mode = "io"
executable = 'D:\Repositories\rust\rust-analyzer\target\release\rust-analyzer.exe'
auto_start_server = true
# initialization_options = '{"completion":{"limit": 1000}}'

Since rust-analyzer can be quite chatty, you might want to comment out the initialization_options if you are having performance issues. My old i5 2nd edition processor seems to get along fine most of the time even with the commented line.

For questions, suggestions etc… a discussion via github is also possible.

@Ekopalypse I downloaded this file: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/releases/download/2024-11-25/rust-analyzer-i686-pc-windows-msvc.zip and unzipped it.
You mention a “config for Rust”, how/ where do I place this??
BTW: my environment is Windows 11 64-bitProfessional edition.

@Murray-Sobol-1

Is there a reason why you are using the 32bit version of rust analyzer?
Does that fit your rust toolchain?
For a 64 bit Windows I would have used this one I guess.
