Just started learning Rust today and got Rust installed, got the hello world example compiled and running. I installed rust-analyzer and CodeLLDB extensions in VSCode. Enable the debug.allowBreakpointsEverywhere settings to VSCode to be true. Setup a debug configuration in VSCode.

However I keep getting errors from rust-analyzer when I run the debugger...

2024-10-06T22:16:04.808655Z ERROR FetchWorkspaceError: rust-analyzer failed to load workspace: Failed to load the project at /home/john/Documents/Snippets/Rust/Cargo.toml: Failed to read Cargo metadata from Cargo.toml file /home/john/Documents/Snippets/Rust/Cargo.toml, Some(Version { major: 1, minor: 81, patch: 0 }): Failed to run `cd "/home/john/Documents/Snippets/Rust" && RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN="/home/john/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" "/home/john/.cargo/bin/cargo" "metadata" "--format-version" "1" "--manifest-path" "/home/john/Documents/Snippets/Rust/Cargo.toml" "--filter-platform" "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"`: `cargo metadata` exited with an error: error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/john/Documents/Snippets/Rust/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  no targets specified in the manifest
  either src/lib.rs, src/main.rs, a [lib] section, or [[bin]] section must be present

I not sure how to fix this.

I would like to get the VSCode debugger to work for launch debugging, attach debugging and launch and attach debugging for rust running inside a docker container. This will be a good setup for getting started I believe.

This is my VSCode debugger configuration...

			"request": "launch",
			"name": "Debug",
			"program": "${workspaceFolder}/hello-world",
			"args": [],
			"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
		}
	]
}

Any help and advice will be most appreciated.

Maybe should be mentioned, if you just run cargo run in the project repo, you should get the same error without all the noise surrounding it...
