Adjusts the way `cargo` and `rust-analyzer` diagnostics are fetched into
Zed.
Nothing is changed for defaults: in this mode, Zed does nothing but
reports file updates, which trigger rust-analyzers'
mechanisms:
* generating internal diagnostics, which it is able to produce on the
fly, without blocking cargo lock.
Unfortunately, there are not that many diagnostics in r-a, and some of
them have false-positives compared to rustc ones
* running `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` on each file save,
taking the cargo lock
For large projects like Zed, this might take a while, reducing the
ability to choose how to work with the project: e.g. it's impossible to
save multiple times without long diagnostics refreshes (may happen
automatically on e.g. focus loss), save the project and run it instantly
without waiting for cargo check to finish, etc.
In addition, it's relatively tricky to reconfigure r-a to run a
different command, with different arguments and maybe different env
vars: that would require a language server restart (and a large project
reindex) and fiddling with multiple JSON fields.
The new mode aims to separate out cargo diagnostics into its own loop so
that all Zed diagnostics features are supported still.
For that, an extra mode was introduced:
```jsonc
"rust": {
// When enabled, Zed runs `cargo check --message-format=json`-based commands and
// collect cargo diagnostics instead of rust-analyzer.
"fetch_cargo_diagnostics": false,
// A command override for fetching the cargo diagnostics.
// First argument is the command, followed by the arguments.
"diagnostics_fetch_command": [
"cargo",
"check",
"--quiet",
"--workspace",
"--message-format=json",
"--all-targets",
"--keep-going"
],
// Extra environment variables to pass to the diagnostics fetch command.
"env": {}
}
```
which calls to cargo, parses its output and mixes in with the existing
diagnostics:

Release Notes:
- Added a way to get diagnostics from cargo and rust-analyzer without
mutually locking each other
- Added `ctrl-r` binding to refresh diagnostics in the project
diagnostics editor context
This is the core change:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26758/files#diff-044302c0d57147af17e68a0009fee3e8dcdfb4f32c27a915e70cfa80e987f765R1052
TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code
Release Notes:
- N/A
Disables https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26146 until a better
way to add diagnostics is found.
Overall, the PR had made changes that are worth keeping instead of
reverting, such as finally extracting out r-a's language server logic
into an `_ext.rs` file.
Release Notes:
- N/A
