Motivation
In my codebase I have files generated by prost and by tonic. I noticed that rust-analyzer was working fine with files generated by prost but not with files generated by tonic.
Solution
I found out that rust-analyzer doesn't like when a generated file is included with relative path. It only works with absolute path (i.g. when using the
OUT_DIR
env variable).I also found out that tonic always calls
prost_build::Config.out_dir
, which causes prost to always generate includes with relative paths.My solution was to avoid setting the
out_dir
in prost when unnecessary.
