I've tried the rust-analyzer and vscode (read: codium) combo too, but can't get it to work... Would some kind soul here be willing to take a look at my below paste and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
The rust-analyzer extension keeps complaning when I start up vscode - other than that I have no error messages (it complains about missing binaries for my OS - NixOS).

This is my first time ever using VS Code for rust, and first time ever touching rust-analyzer (heck - first time ever using vscode on nix/nixos too). Reading the Rust wiki and the plugins' issues didn't help me understand where to go from here. Any pointers anyone?

I found a solution to my issue (I think - still veryfing/testing).

The rust-lang.rust-analyzer extension supports a "rust-analyzer.server.path": "rust-analyzer" setting, which can be put in <project/git repo root>/.vscode/settings.json. That along with the arrterian.nix-env-selector extension (and required shell.nix since I use flakes) seem to have done the trick for me.

Many thanks to @NobbZ on the Unofficial Nix/NixOS Discord Server for sharing the solution.

arrterian.nix-env-selector didn't do anything useful for me :( what did you set rust-analyzer.server.path to?

I've past that step :) I think you can also do the same with direnv and echo use\ flake >> .envrc

To answer your question;

{
  "rust-analyzer.server.path": "rust-analyzer" 
}

farcaller: maybe you need to set the environment variable RUST_SRC_PATH to ${rustPlatform.rustLibSrc}?

Hello! I am not sure if I am doing something that has sense or not. But I would like to build a rust project that does not have a flake.nix checked out in the repo itself. And I would like to avoid that right now. I was thinking about something like this:

{
  description = "";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05";
    naersk.url = "github:nix-community/naersk";
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, naersk, ... }:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
    in
    {
      packages.${system}.quarry = naersk.lib.${system}.buildPackage {
        pname = "quarry";
        src = nixpkgs.lib.fetchgit {
          url = "git+ssh://git@github.com/testtest/test";
          rev = "a3f0e0f9d4085b24334b37da5fb7db3cd84188bf";
          sha256 = "69b056298cf570debd3718b2e2cb7e63ad9465919c8190cf38043791ce61d0d6";
        };
      };
    };
}

but I get this error error: attribute 'fetchgit' missing and I am not sure if what I am doing is possible

I think I have another question, the build process fails because the rust project I am trying to build has a private build-dependency:

[build-dependencies]
buildinfo = { git = "ssh://git@github.com/test/testprivate.git", tag = "0.2.0"}

$ nix build
fetching Git repository 'ssh://git@github.com/test/testprivate.git'fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/0.2.0
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128

I can't find if it is supported or not
