Rust autocomplete not working

[adilJamshad]

Describe the bug
After following TJ's YouTube tutorial, I successfully installed neovim and rustup, along with rust-analyzer using mason. When I open a Rust file, all errors are immediately visible. However, I am not able to access any autocompletion features while typing in Rust, despite it working for TypeScript and Lua.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run nvim test.rs
2. now type anything in the editor and the autocompletion won't work.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10
• Terminal: ubuntu 22.04 (using wsl)

** Neovim Version **
NVIM v0.8.3

• Output of running :version from inside of neovim:

:LspInfo says that the rust analyzer is working. But I do not get any autocompletion for rust.

rust-analyzer doesn't provide IDE features for unlinked files. If the file you working on is not included in the module tree, rust-analyzer does not provide features like autocomplete.

Not having autocomplete while you are trying to learn rust and solving rustlings is so annoying and I don't know how to get around. There might be some nvim lsp features could help. Or creating a file that making use of every exercise files may also help.

Edit:
Autocomplete should work just fine in any file included in the module tree. For example you can try something like this:

$ cargo new autocomplete-test
$ cd autocomplete-test
$ nvim src/main.rs

and if you try to type anything you should get autocomplete.
