#20086 VSCode rust-analyer on Pants source cannot handle circular dev dependency between crates Issue created by tdyas I attempted to get the

rust-analyzer

extension working with Pants source code. That effort* is currently blocked by rust-lang/rust-analyzer#14167 due to a circular dev dependency between the

src/rust/engine/fs

and

src/rust/engine/testutil

crates. The source of the dependency cycle in one direction is that

testutil

makes

fs::DirectoryDigest

values available in its interface. In the other directio,

fs

uses

testutil

in its tests (as one would expect). We should consider breaking the dependency. * I also had to configure

rust-analyzer.linkedProjects

to point at

src/rust/engine/Cargo.toml

since rust-analyzer by default does not auto detect Rust projects beyond the first subdirectory level. pantsbuild/pants
