Description
rust-analyzer version: rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1860-standalone (5346002d0 2024-02-25)
rustc version: rustc 1.78.0-nightly (6672c16af 2024-02-17)
relevant settings:
- A cargo workspace with a root
Cargo.tomlfile with only aworkspacetable and no direct code units. - A workspace setting with a glob; e.g.,
[workspace]
members = ["crates/*"]
resolver = "2"
- A blank crate in
cratesdirectory (cargo new --vcs none --bin crates/test-bin)
steps to reproduce:
- Open VS Code with a workspace project structure and glob members as described above.
- Add a new package to a crate (
cargo new -p test-bin clap) - Observe RA does not reload
- Observe RA does not provide typeahead hints for
clap. - Manually trigger "Reload Workspace"
- Observe RA provides typeahead hints for
clap.
The bug report for #16550 made me realize #10442 is likely related. RA should always check for Cargo.tomls represented by the workspace members regardless of how deep they are in the tree.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VS Code with a root Cargo.toml using workspace glob members and a crate under crates/, then add a package with cargo new -p test-bin clap. Start by tracing workspace reload and Cargo.toml discovery; done means rust-analyzer reloads automatically and provides typeahead hints for the new dependency without manually triggering Reload Workspace.
