I'm using rust-analyzer version 0.2.408 on Visual Studio Code.
I'm writing a command line application that involves centering text in the terminal. This is the function I wrote to do this:
use console::{Alignment, pad_str};
fn get_padded_row(row: &str, width: u16, symbol: Option<char>) -> String {
let symbol = symbol.unwrap_or(' ');
return pad_str(row, width as usize, Alignment::Center, None)
.to_string()
.replace(' ', &symbol.to_string());
}
This function works perfectly fine, and there were no errors with it. Then I wrote a test:
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use crate::get_padded_row;
#[test]
fn row_padding_dashes() {
let padded_row = get_padded_row("hello", 15, Some('-'));
assert_eq!(
padded_row, "-----hello-----".to_string(),
"`get_padded_row` was not correct, got `{}`", padded_row
);
}
}
The code still works perfectly fine. Both cargo run and cargo test work, the function passes the test, and cargo check returns no issues. But rust-analyzer gives an error, highlighting everything from the tr}; in the use statement to the p right after return: "could not resolve macro $crate::format_args rust-analyzer(macro-error)". Searching for this error returns nothing. VSCode links me to rust-analyzer user manual, which says only "This diagnostic is shown for macro expansion errors". Restarting VSCode and reinstalling rust-analyzer have done nothing. The error always comes back, and highlighting the same oddly specific region. The only way I've found to get rid of it while keeping rust-analyzer installed is to remove the test.
Judging from how the error is about macro expansion, and how removing the test fixes the issue, I'd imagine it's caused by the #[test] macro, but it's strange that rustc finds no issues at all with my code while rust-analyzer is freaking out about this error. So far, I've had better experiences with rust-analyzer than with the official Rust VSCode extension, but I'm on the verge of switching back to fix this issue.
