rust-tools with AstroVim

[sbeyer]

I'm trying to get rust-tools to work with AstroVim. So I added 'simrat39/rust-tools.nvim' in my lua/user/plugins/init.lua, however, AstroVim uses nvim-lsp-installer, which needs some customization to work with rust-tools, see simrat39/rust-tools.nvim#89 and https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/wiki/Rust ... as a lazy person, I simply took the code from the latter (which seems to be the most basic configuration that just works), and wrote a lua/user/lsp/server_registration.lua file which contains (in its current form after some unsuccesful attempts):

return function(server, opts)
  -- Integration of rust-tools
  -- from https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/wiki/Rust
  if server.name == "rust_analyzer" then
    -- Initialize the LSP via rust-tools instead
    require("rust-tools").setup {
        -- The "server" property provided in rust-tools setup function are the
        -- settings rust-tools will provide to lspconfig during init.            -- 
        -- We merge the necessary settings from nvim-lsp-installer (server:get_default_options())
        -- with the user's own settings (opts).
        server = vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", server:get_default_options(), opts),
    }
    server:attach_buffers()
    -- Only if standalone support is needed
    require("rust-tools").start_standalone_if_required()
  else
    server:setup(opts)
  end
end

This, however, does not work. (File is definitely read... writing gibberish into the file leads to errors.)

Any ideas?

Okay, now I have tried so many different things with rust-tools which all lead to the warning message that "rust-analyzer" has not been found, that I did not notice that my solution above indeed works, except that it still prints this warning message. This, however, seems to be unrelated from AstroVim. Closed again ;)

I didn't even notice that the topic rust-tools is mentioned and managed in the README.md file :O
(A general drawback of highly modular systems: where do you look when there are issues in the interaction of modules.)

Yeah hopefully the new rebranded website and everything will have much clearer documentation and a better resource for "where to look". Looking forward to the nvim 0.7 PR to be finalized!
