Description

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.2490-standalone

rustc version: 1.87.0

editor or extension: Helix / Neovim (any lsp client)

I am trying to get diagnostics to work on a project without cargo. Meson does support clippy output via clippy-driver, so I changed the check.overrideCommand, however, rust-analyzer fails with: ERROR synthetic syntax. Looking at the json output of cargo clippy and clippy-driver/rustc, they seem to be structured slightly differently:
json outputs

I can reproduce the issue with a simple main.rs containing an unused variable and setting check.overrideCommand to rustc src/main.rs --emit metadata --out-dir /tmp --error-format=json

Research direction

Start with rust-analyzer's handling of check.overrideCommand output and compare the linked cargo clippy and clippy-driver/rustc JSON examples. Reproduce the synthetic syntax error with main.rs and the provided rustc command; done means diagnostics from that command parse successfully without the error.
