IDE/Editor support

Hi, what is the recommended way to configure IDE/Editor? As Bazel has it's own structure and source/binary storage no standard IDE/Editors can fully resolve references and dependencies between files. For C++ I've been using awesome https://ij.bazel.build/docs/bazel-support.html but I guess for Rust there is nothing from the box?

I wonder how people are editing files here - or do give up on autocomplete and GoTo-Definitions actions from modern IDE?

Thanks

Hi Artem,

This is an open question, most likely Vs Code is the one with most support but we have two issues that were never solved:

- https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/issues/370 (debugging). I think +Marcel Hlopko did something recently though.

- RLS support was replaced by rust analyzer and I believe it was implemented but I have no idea if someone has actually set that up (I tend to just use plain VS Code so far).

That should probably be a good candidate for a documentation request on github.

Hi Artem,

I also use VSCode with the rust-analyzer. I'm very happy, things you expect to work do work, even debugging (notes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/issues/370 as Damien already mentioned). To configure rust analyzer with Bazel we have a fresh contribution over at https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/505 but docs are not published yet (https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/505#issuecomment-780066923 is a good start though). There is also a Bazel VSCode plugin btw.
