Does it work with PATH=~/.cargo/bin:$PATH code?

[RazrFalcon]

Yes, my bad. Looks like VSCode ignores .profile for some reasons.

[lnicola]

It's not VSCode, it's your DE, which has no obligation to spawn a shell. You can:

• add ~/.cargo/bin to PATH in your ~/.pam_environment (PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:@{HOME}/.cargo/bin) or /etc/environment
• set the full path in the RA Code extension setting
• make a symlink under /usr/local/bin

[lnicola]

@matklad long-term the extension should probably bundle or download the RA binary like other Code extensions do, but that makes development more awkward. Maybe there should be a notice about this somewhere, as it seems that a lot of people get bitten by it.
