Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

👋

Not sure if it's a feature request or a bug, since RA/vscode supports it. Given the following .zed/settings.json, it seems that we can not override check command. Here is an example.

{
    "lsp": {
        "rust-analyzer": {
            "initialization_options": {
                "check": {
                    "overrideCommand": [
                        "sh",
                        "-c",
                        "cargo clippy --message-format=json --manifest-path ./a/Cargo.toml;  cargo clippy --message-format=json --manifest-path ./b/Cargo.toml"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hey, that's pretty odd. I use overrideCommand myself and it does work for me;

My config for RA

  "lsp": {
    "rust-analyzer": {
      "initialization_options": {
        "check": {
          "allTargets": false,
          "overrideCommand": ["cargo", "build", "--message-format=json"]
        }
      }
    }
  }

If I were to guess, you're trying to use a shell command as a check command; I wonder if it's being escaped/passed along properly. Could you try to save it as a script in your home directory and then use `["sh", "-c", "~/my_ra_script.sh"] ` as your check command to verify whether that's indeed the case?

It isn't working for me either. These are my settings:

{
  "lsp": {
    "rust-analyzer": {
      "initialization_options": {
        "check": {
          "overrideCommand": [
            "cargo",
            "check",
            "--target=arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf" // "--target=x86_64-apple-darwin"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In the terminal running cargo check --target=arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf works. Same with cargo check --target=x86_64-apple-darwin

Edit: actually, I see in ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log that the command is being executed correctly because I see the error I'm expecting. It's just that I don't see the error in the UI. And also it still shows me this diagnostic, which shouldn't show up if I'm targeting arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf

Edit 2: in my case, the issue was that I was missing "--message-format=json" in my command. Working command is:

{
  "lsp": {
    "rust-analyzer": {
      "initialization_options": {
        "check": {
          "overrideCommand": [
            "cargo",
            "check",
            "--target=arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf",
            "--message-format=json"
          ]
