release-plz VS rust-analyzer

My problem with maintaining a changelog during development is it can serve as a source of merge conflicts. Instead, I follow Covnentional Commit style and manually write my changelog entries based on the commits. I have a tool [0] that can show me the relevant commits for a package in my repo and automates the entire release process, including doing sanity checks.

I also feel like releasing from CI is hard, especially if you have multiple packages in a repo [1], including

- You can't as easily introspect the process

- You can't as easily recover from failure

- Getting a lot of the nuance right, like handling releases concurrent to merging of PRs, is difficult

- When the workflow is an ever-present "release PR" that you merge when ready has issues with selecting which packages to release and at what version

I have been considering making a tool to generate changelogs from fragments. Been keeping notes at https://github.com/epage/epage.github.io/issues/23

Hi 👋 I maintain release-plz, a project enabling maintainers to release Rust packages automatically.

How does this tool differ from release-plz?: https://github.com/marcoIeni/release-plz

Nice, very simple. I like it! You might also want to check out my project: https://github.com/MarcoIeni/release-plz

I was looking forward to parallel front-end[4], but I have not seen any improvement for these small changes.

For example, intelephense can show diagnostics in real time, there is no need to save the file to get new diagnostics. But rust-analyzer, the language server for rust, can only update diagnostics after saving the file.

6. Rust Analyzer

The rust-analyzer readme suggests you go here for support request. But even there, you'll need to provide more details to get useful help.

For example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/...

> If you create an LSP, it will work best in VS Code.

Any editor can work just as well as (or even better than) VS Code.

So, apparently the reason why rust-analyzer, the LSP server for Rust does not have persistent caching is because it would make "optimizing initial passes less important".

All I want to know is: Will it have a build configuration pulldown?

I am not a Rust dev. It surely looks great.

However, from what I understand it seems to supply just a parser separate from the Rust compiler (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/tree/master/crate...) trying to keep up with Rust‘s development. So, in principle, it could have been just another treesitter parser plugin, too.

So, again, the LSP framework does not directly provide any magical benefit over a static parsing framework. All the semantic analysis capabilities stem from a good parser.
