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.

I'm not sure, but in the debug config try to point "program" to the actual executable in /target/debug/hello_world
