How to make it basically work?

[gh67uyyghj]

Hi all, it seems that this is a very active project compared to buggy RLS and I really need to make it work for me since I've had enough of RLS due to the memory leak in Linux. I just can't run it, I used the instructions in the root README. On VScode startup I see the error message Couldn't start client Rust Analyzer Language Server. Please help me identify why it's not running. I am using archlinux if that helps.

I deeply apologize, I needed to explicitly set the custom path for ra_lsp_server in order for the server to run. Probably this is more related to archlinux than rust-analyzer itself.

It's not an Arch issue, but a Linux one. rustup adds ~/.cargo/bin to PATH in your shell's configuration file, but if you're using a DE it won't run the shell first. So your PATH is only set for terminals.

My workaround was to add PATH DEFAULT=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:@{HOME}/.cargo/bin:@{HOME}/.local/bin to ~/.pam_environment. Another solution would be to move ra_lsp_server to /usr/local/bin.

A PR which adds an appropriate warning message is welcome!
