Rust
Racer - code completion forRACER = Rust Auto-Complete-er. A utility intended to provide Rust code completion for editors and IDEs. Maybe one day the 'er' bit will be exploring + refactoring or something.
Installation
cargo install
With This method requires Rust 1.5. Simply run:
cargo install racer
As mentioned in the command output, don't forget to add the installation directory to your PATH
.
From sources
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/phildawes/racer.git
-
cd racer; cargo build --release
. The binary will now be in./target/release/racer
-
Add the binary to your
PATH
. This can be done by moving it to a directory already in yourPATH
(i.e./usr/local/bin
) or by adding the./target/release/
directory to yourPATH
Configuration
- Fetch the Rust sourcecode
a) manually from git, or download from https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html (the 'rustc' source download behind the 'source' link is the right one).
b) automatically via rustup and run rustup component add rust-src
in order to install the source to ~/.multirust/toolchains/[your-toolchain]/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src
. Rustup will keep the sources in sync with the toolchain if you run rustup update
.
-
Set the
RUST_SRC_PATH
environment variable to point to the 'src' dir in the Rust source installation(e.g.
% export RUST_SRC_PATH=/usr/local/src/rust/src
or% export RUST_SRC_PATH=~/.multirust/toolchains/[your-toolchain]/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src
) -
Test on the command line:
racer complete std::io::B
(should show some completions)
