Start rust-analyzer vs-code plugin in a stopped state
One of my current projects involves a large mono-repo with mostly other programming languages than rust. At the moment we are slowly introducing rust to this repo. We use a devcontainer to get a similar development environment for all users.
It would be great if the rust-analyzer vs code extension could start in a "stopped" state, this allows any developer doing rust to activate it if needed, and other developers will not be bothered by the resource consumption. Especially during start-up, we see that all projects are preloaded which consumes quite some resources.
I wonder what the best approach here would be, probably to start stopped and start if a rust file / Cargo.toml has been opened (and we havent started once this session yet)? Once we have lazy loading this would ultimately become the experience for this anyways I think
I did a rough attempt to do an implementation: https://github.com/Daanoz/rust-analyzer/commit/928ea2e8fbb89531925f803d7d91e7856ffdfba7. But I'm running into some npm issues to actually test it properly. Do I understand it correctly that it doesn't really make sense to add this since another feature would make this obsolete?
Nono, it would make sense to add this (the lazy loading stuff I've mentioned is something we want to have in the future), i mentioned that because we will have this kind of behavior by that point anyways (to argue that the change makes sense)
And we'd want a config either way (like in your commit) so that would be welcome
