Description

Hi, I recently noticed that the recommended rust extension on VS Code by the community is different than what the editor itself recommends. I have been trying to install rust-analyzer with no success. Here's what I have tried:

  • Install directly from within VS Code:
    • Extension manager
      • Release version: 0.2.853
        • Can't find it due to 404 error
      • Pre-release version: 0.4.1098 (I think)
        • Can't find it due to 404 error
    • Manual installation pop from errors above
      • Version: 0.2.853
        • Able to install but got notified binaries were not available for platform
        • Tried using binaries for latest release but didn't what to do
  • Indirectly from VS Code extension page
    • Downloaded version 0.4.1098
      • Platform Linux Arm64
      • Manually installed via VSIX
        • Got Failed to execute SERVERPATH --versión error

Could you help me troubleshoot the installation? Let me know if you need more details.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation through the VS Code extension manager and with the downloaded rust-analyzer VSIX on Linux ARM64, recording the 404 and SERVERPATH errors. Compare the release and pre-release extension packages and their available binaries; done means rust-analyzer installs and starts successfully in VS Code on the Raspberry Pi.
