rustc version: rustc 1.63.0 (e4e8b5a6b 2023-06-30)

editor or extension: VSCode Version 1.89.1 (user setup) with Continue extension v0.8.38

code snippet to reproduce:

// Any code snippet will do, as the issue occurs when using the Continue extension to open the Continue Diff feature.
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

Description: When using the Continue extension in Visual Studio Code, attempting to open the Continue Diff feature causes Rust Analyzer to crash. The crash occurs specifically when performing the following steps:

1. Highlight any code with Shift-Ctrl-L and choose the action /edit within the Continue panel.
2. Wait for the Continue Diff to open.

At this point, the Rust Analyzer panics and crashes with the following error message:

thread 'LspServer' panicked at crates\paths\src\lib.rs:200:9:
assertion failed: path.is_absolute()

This issue results in the Rust Analyzer becoming unresponsive, and subsequent attempts to use its features fail. The error message indicates a problem with path handling in the Rust Analyzer. This issue only occurs when the Continue Diff is opened or left opened when restarting.

Log output:

I tried:

"rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs": [
  "C:\\Users\\chris\\.continue\\.diffs\\*",
  "C:\\Users\\chris\\.continue\\.diffs\\",
  "\\.continue\\.diffs\\",
  "/.continue/.diffs/"
]

Also I tried :

"files.watcherExclude": {
  "**/.continue/.diffs/**": true,
  "**/.continue/.diffs/*/**": true
}

but still happening. Settings wrong?

Hmm, inling ate any useful backtrace information here.

[chrisoutwright]

In that example the path is: C:\Users\chris\.continue\.diffs\c:_b_Users_b_chris_b_rust_projects_b_cfg_parser_b_async_tutorials_b_ch05_b_framestack_tester_b_src_b_main.rs How can I prevent Rust Analyzer crashing?

[Veykril]

That doesn't seem to be a valid windows path (: is not allowed in paths on windows, aside from the drive prefix), so I am not too surprised that things go bad here

[Veykril]

Closing this as this is not our issue
