Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field. Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the `sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a `rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer` need it to find the proc-macro server [3]. In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since we already specify the core library to be included in the `rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`. Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer (which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks along with the rust version). Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code. As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the changes made in [1]. `rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer version on their system). This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work being done by `rust-analyzer`. [ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says: `sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as `{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the `sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources (that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set that field as well now. - Miguel ] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/pull/17287 [1] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/f372a8a1176ff8dd5f45ab2ddd45f3530db0374f/crates/project-model/src/workspace.rs#L367-L374 [2] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/eeb192b79aeac47b40add66347022af17a74fbaf/crates/project-model/src/sysroot.rs#L180-L192 [3] Link: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AVeykril%2Frust-analyzer%20src_root()&type=code [4] Tested-by: Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@de.bosch.com> Signed-off-by: Sarthak Singh <sarthak.singh99@gmail.com> Link: https://rust-for-linux.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/291565-Help/topic/How.20to.20rust-analyzer.20correctly.20working Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240724172713.899399-1-sarthak.singh99@gmail.com [ Formatted comment, fixed typo and removed spurious empty line. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
