When installing within a remote server inside WSL2 the extension fails to work after you restart the window for some reason. Not sure how to resolve this error.

rust-analyzer v0.3.2121

Did you modify config.server.path explicitly?

I'm also having a similar issue, but it's occurring on Windows 10. I have not amended the config.server.path or config.serverPath, (not knowingly). I just installed it using the VSCode Extensions tab.

The only thing that makes may installation unusual is that I have custom installation setup for Rust due to work rules. Not sure if this is relevant to the rust-analyzer serverPath though.

The error message is bugged so it always reports the config as being set -> https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/pull/18219

Once that is merged please try again with a new version with that PR in it, it should mention the path it is trying to execute

Fantastic, thanks for letting me know.

Found the issue, work restrictions were stopping the node process.
