Description
Would it be possible to add a configuration to be able to set the path to cargo?
Related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/3154
Setting PATH would not work for my use case. I am using pixi to set up and install the dev environment. This tool installs cargo and all the deps inside {{ workspace_folder }}/.pixi/env.
