Roadmap

This extension adds advanced language support for the Rust language to VS Code, including:

• Autocompletion (using racer)
• Go To Definition (using racer)
• Format (using rustfmt) formatOnSave is experimental
• [not implemented yet] Snippets
• [not implemented yet] Cargo tasks

First, you will need to install Visual Studio Code 0.10 or newer. In the command pallete (cmd-shift-p) select Install Extension and choose RustyCode.

Then, you need to install Racer (instructions and source code here).

Also, you need to install Rustfmt (instructions and source code here)

And last step is downloading Rust language source files from here.

The following Visual Studio Code settings are available for the RustyCode extension. These can be set in user preferences or workspace settings (.vscode/settings.json)

{
	"rust.racerPath": null, // Specifies path to Racer binary if it's not in PATH
	"rust.rustLangSrcPath": null, // Specifies path to /src directory of local copy of Rust sources
	"rust.rustfmtPath": null, // Specifies path to Rustfmt binary if it's not in PATH
	"rust.formatOnSave": false, // Turn on/off autoformatting file on save (EXPERIMENTAL)
}

Repository

You can set up a development enviroment for debugging the extension during extension development.

First make sure you do not have the extension installed in ~/.vscode/extensions. Then clone the repo somewhere else on your machine, run npm install and open a development instance of Code.

rm -rf ~/.vscode/extensions/RustyCode
cd ~
git clone https:://github.com/saviorisdead/RustyCode
cd RustyCode
npm install
npm run-script compile
code .

You can now go to the Debug viewlet and select Launch Extension then hit run (F5). If you make edits in the extension .ts files, just reload (cmd-r) the [Extension Development Host] instance of Code to load in the new extension code. The debugging instance will automatically reattach.
