Description

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1799-standalone (af4010184 2024-01-07)

Krustc version: rustc 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2023-12-21)

relevant settings: "rust-analyzer.rust.analyzerTargetDir": "target/rust-analyzer",

When the target dir is set, none of the issues show up, for example if I set my main.rs to be

fn main(){
    let foo = 3;
}

cargo check will warn about the unused var, and if I unset analyzerTargetDir it shows up in Problems in vscode, but if I set it, it doesn't show up

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a Rust project with main.rs and rust-analyzer.rust.analyzerTargetDir set to target/rust-analyzer. Compare the unused-variable diagnostic from cargo check in VS Code with the setting enabled and disabled. Done means the diagnostic appears in the Problems view in both configurations.
