Ubuntu 21.10 "Can not attach stdlib sources automatically"

[sturmf]

Environment

• IntelliJ Rust plugin version: 0.4.162.4321-213
• Rust toolchain version: 1.53.0+dfsg1+llvm-4ubuntu1~21.10.1
• IDE name and version: IDEA community 2021.3.1
• Operating system: Ubuntu 21.10

Problem description

Opening or creating a rust project shows "Can not attach stdlib sources automatically without rustup".
Attaching the sources manually seems to fail and I tried with many different paths.
It seems rustup itself is not available in a Debian package and the available snap did not help.

Installed rust Debian packages:

ii  libstd-rust-1.53:amd64                     1.53.0+dfsg1+llvm-4ubuntu1~21.10.1         amd64        Rust standard libraries
ii  libstd-rust-dev:amd64                      1.53.0+dfsg1+llvm-4ubuntu1~21.10.1         amd64        Rust standard libraries - development files
ii  rust-src                                   1.53.0+dfsg1+llvm-4ubuntu1~21.10.1         all          Rust systems programming language - source code
ii  rustc                                      1.53.0+dfsg1+llvm-4ubuntu1~21.10.1         amd64        Rust systems programming language

Hello @sturmf, could you try reinstalling Rust using rustup via curl? It is the primary installation method for Rust described here

[sturmf]

Yes uninstalling all Ubuntu packages and using rustup works as expected. But at some point it would be great to get it working with the packages provided by the distribution. But then I guess it is more a bug of the distro then a problem with the rust plugin.

[aboseley]

I have the same issue when using the rust packages provided by fedora35

[tiagolobocastro]

I'm having this same issue and attaching the sources manually does not seem to help. The "Can not attach..." message keeps showing up and the plugin is not able to navigate through std::"

UPDATE:
If I purge ~/.cache/JetBrains/CLion2021.3/ and reopen clion then it starts working... but then if I close&reopen it breaks again and I see this type of error:

I'm experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu 20.04 (unable to attach stdlib sources installed via apt-get install rust-src).

[enerjazzer]

I'm using system installation of Rust at work, rustup is not available and we can't install it by policy.
It's Red Hat, if it matters. The standard library is there, Cargo builds and runs the program without any problem, but I have that banner at the top of the editor and can't go into stdlib symbols.
So please fix the plugin to work without rustup.

[vlad20012]

@enerjazzer Without rustup you have to download an stdlib sources somehow (using system package manager or manually) and specify the path to it in IntelliJ Rust project settings. For example, on Ubuntu it's possible by sudo apt install rust-src.

You don't need stdlib sources for building rust code, so it's expected that cargo build works while IDE doesn't. Stdlib sources are usually needed for IDEs only

[enerjazzer]

@enerjazzer Without rustup you have to download an stdlib sources somehow (using system package manager or manually) and specify the path to it in IntelliJ Rust project settings. For example, on Ubuntu it's possible by sudo apt install rust-src.

It is downloaded.
E.g. grepping for println:
/opt/third/rust/1.63.0/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/std/src/macros.rs:macro_rules! println {

But the plugin still doesn't see it.
It always shows "Can not attach stdlib sources automatically without rustup" and a button "Attach manually" and no matter which part from the above path I put there it still shows that banner and Ctrl+Click on "println!" in the code doesn't work.

Please fix
