    This is not a robust solution to the problem. I haven't worked on a large Rust project, so I do not know if this is valid for all kinds of Rust projects. Maybe there is a better debugging config setups/plugins out there (simrat39/rust-tools.nvim is one from what I have searched for). I plan to keep using this config, till it breaks; and try and fix it when it does.

    I'd start with nvim-treesitter, nvim-lspconfig, and use rust-tools.nvim as an accelerant. Any remaining advice I'd have is about Neovim but not about Rust. That advice would also be mostly questions of taste for this-or-that decisions.

  • Rust + Neovim setup gotcha
    1 project | /r/neovim | 7 May 2023
    TIL that if you install Rust via Homebrew (like brew install rust), auto formatting (or more specifically, lsp formatting) doesn't work properly. I used both Rust Analyzer and rust-tools) to setup rust lsp and configured it with tons of options, thinking maybe something will work but somehow, one thing never did - auto formatting. This is the command I use for setting up auto formatting via lsp:

    you can use nvim then, it has shellcheck for diagnostics and formatting, like in vscode :)

  • Linting/formatting and LSP
    1 project | /r/neovim | 8 Sep 2023
    I use a lot of different languages generally and I'm running into issues around formatting. Is there any standard way to use LSP formatting by default and otherwise fallback to specific linter/formatting programs? I believe null-ls is the normal way of dealing with this, but since it's been archived, I'd rather not rely on it.
  • How to setup efm-langserver for pint formatter?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Jul 2023
    I've been using pint for formatting php files with null-ls.nvim. Few days ago null-ls.nvim has announced that the plugin will be archived in few months so I started migrating all my formatters and linter from null-ls to efm-langserver. I got other things such as prettier, black, isort, mypy, etc. working but can't get pint to work with php files: If I run pint via efm-langserver, everything is deleted from the buffer, and the saved file is formatted separately. How do I setup efm-langserver correctly to work with pint? Below is my config.yml for pint currently. yaml tools: pint: &pint format-command: "pint --no-interaction --quiet ${INPUT}" format-stdin: false languages: php: - <<: *pint Thank you.

    There is a good answer. I think you know lua and neovim config enough to pick things that you need. If you need a short answer, null-ls is the way.
