Version `0.3.1992` rust-analyzer process spins out of control in macOS VSCode

[ospfranco]

rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1992

rustc version: rustc 1.78.0 (9b00956e5 2024-04-29)

editor or extension: VSCode

relevant settings: Standard Rustup installation

repository link (if public, optional): n/a

code snippet to reproduce: n/a

VSCode updated my extensions today and on the latest rust-analyzer version things are spinning out of control:

I've worked around it by downgrading the version on VSCode itself:

Same happens on Windows and Linux (rustc 1.78.0 (9b00956e5 2024-04-29))

I was having a similar issue with Windows, VSCode, WSL Ubuntu.

[meuschke]

Same issue here

[lnicola]

Can anyone trigger it reliably? A public repository causing the issue or a bisection would be appreciated.

[Veykril]

Otherwise capturing backtraces of the running threads would help

@lnicola I haven't had the chance to dive into the details yet, but can confirm that rust-lang/rustup is one of the repos that has broken 2024-06-10...

PS: I use :MasonInstall to install an r-a distribution on Neovim, which I believe is just a direct download from your releases page. I just performed a downgrade by executing :MasonInstall rust-analyzer@2024-06-03 and now everything is working alright again.

OS: macOS 14.5.0

By git bisect, I find that the problem may originate from 23a5f31ff4.

Downgrading saves my day... r-a easily occupies my 7950x in a few minutes with the latest release =(

OS: Ubuntu 2404, bare metal.

I have the same problem on Debian Linux. Downgrading to v0.3.1983 fixes the issue.

[roife]

The problem might be in the infinite loop: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/blob/14a1f4530ca7d63f0c4137c9b3daa5e15c524b9c/crates/rust-analyzer/src/config.rs#L2562-L2569.

[roife]

The issue might be in this function: it returns a map {source_root: parent_of_source_root}, but sometimes dir might be equal to parent, which cause the infinite loop we’re seeing above.

Also, the variable i here seems weird, and I’m not sure what it's for. 👀

同样问题，搞了两小时，换了个旧版本修复了。。无语

@Veykril @lnicola Can you please pin this issue to increase its visibility first? Many thanks in advance!

[tobico]

Thanks for reporting, I just ran into this issue on Ubuntu Linux. I'm quite new to Rust and assumed I must have been doing something wrong.

For anyone using VSCode / VSCodium / etc., until this is fixed, having a working rust-analyzer can be achieved by:

• if opening VSC freezes your machine near-instantly (was the case for me)
  • for good measure, restart, as there can be many rust-analyzer processes still running and consuming most of your CPU
  • manually disable the extension in settings.json
• open VSC's extensions panel, find rust-analyzer in the list, click the "cog" icon next to it
• in the menu that appears, select "install another version", then in the list select v0.3.1983
• enable the extension again

[extrawurst]

@Veykril thanks for pushing a fix. will there be a hotfix release of this?

[Veykril]

There is a new nightly release published now

[huiminghao]

same here. win11 WSL2 VSCode

According to @Veykril, a new nightly release is out now including the fix. You can switch to the pre-release version of the VSCode plugin to address this issue. If you're using Neovim/Mason, :MasonInstall rust-analyzer@nightly should be enough.

Yep, switching to the pre-release worked for me.

[lnicola]

A new stable release is now out (v0.3.1995), fixing this and #17376.

[hackguy25]

Fix doesn't seem to work on my machine: Fedora Linux 40 with KDE Plasma x86_64, kernel 6.8.11 VS Code 1.90.0, native install

Versions 0.3.1983 and earlier work correctly, versions 0.3.1992 and 0.3.1995 loop indefinitely.

[lnicola]

@hackguy25 might be better to file a new issue. A project link and/or thread backtraces would be appreciated.
