my bad: rust-lang/rust-analyzer#6858 @matklad: I haven't tested that. I don't need to install from source, I just wish to install the tools from local files, without requiring an internet connection. |

I spent way too much time on an offline installation, and I'm hoping this documentation change might save others the same trouble.
Copying rust-analyzer-{platform} into the path mentioned in the documentation (
.../User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer) doesn't do anything - theglobalState.serverVersionmagic prevents the extension from using the file unless the extension has previously downloaded something there.Manually providing a rust-analyzer binary always requires setting serverPath, and the documentation will now reflect that.
