Description
rust-analyzer version: (eg. output of "rust-analyzer: Show RA Version" command, accessible in VSCode via Ctrl/⌘+Shift+P)
rustc version: (eg. output of rustc -V) rustc 1.89.0 (29483883e 2025-08-04)
editor or extension: Reproduced under both neovim and vscode.
relevant settings: (eg. client settings, or environment variables like CARGO, RUSTC, RUSTUP_HOME or CARGO_HOME)
repository link (if public, optional): https://github.com/adaszko/rust-analyzer-minrepro
code snippet to reproduce:
use ustr::{Ustr, ustr};
#[derive(Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum Expr {
// `--help`
Terminal(Ustr, Option<Ustr>, usize),
}
fn foo(s: &str) -> Expr {
Expr::Terminal(ustr(s), None, 0)
}
fn main() {
use Expr::*;
let terminal_expr = Terminal(ustr("--color="), None, 0);
println!("Hello, world!");
// Terminal(ustr($s), None, 0) ==>> foo($s)
// Terminal($s, None, 0) ==>> foo($s)
}
Expected behavior: Triggering SSR using rule Terminal(ustr($s), None, 0) ==>> foo($s) should rewrite
let terminal_expr = Terminal(ustr("--color="), None, 0);
to
let terminal_expr = foo("--color=").
Actual behavior: Rule doesn't match the line let terminal_expr = Terminal(ustr("--color="), None, 0);.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mismatch in the linked rust-analyzer-minrepro repository with the SSR rule shown in the issue. Trace the SSR matching implementation and relevant tests; done means the rule matches Terminal(ustr("--color="), None, 0) and rewrites it to foo("--color=").
