Description

rust-analyzer reports the current crate being indexed as:

foo + n more

Screenshot from 2024-04-10 15-44-58

And there's absolutely no way to see what the "+ n more" are. Clicking on it in VSCode gives no extra information.

When a crate is being particularly slow to index, it's hard to tell which crate it is because of this.

Can I have a way to see everything currently being indexed?

Research direction

Start by tracing how rust-analyzer reports the currently indexed crate and how that status is presented in VSCode. Make the complete set of crates currently being indexed inspectable, including the crates hidden behind "+ n more", and verify that a slow indexing operation identifies the relevant crate.
