Getting started
Visual Studio extension for Rust Currently in development, and not feature complete. Stable versions are available on the Visual Studio extension gallery. Unstable, but more recent builds are downloadable from AppVeyor (choose 'Configuration: Release' and 'Artifacts'). Since LLDB doesn't work with the msvc compiler, we need to install the Rust GNU toolschain and use that one. This have some drawbacks though such as we won't be able to intop with software produced by Visual Studio. C: rustup install stable-gnu 6. Set the active toolchain. We now need to set the Rust GNU toolchain as the active toolchain. Visual Studio Code Azure Learn how to get started with Rust - set up the environment, write a program, and use the Cargo build system. Write a simple 'Hello, world!' Use Cargo, Rust's package manager and build system. Bookmark Add to collection Prerequisites. A Windows, Mac, or Linux computer; Knowledge of how to download programs. I'm trying to debug a Rust library in Visual Studio Code and I'm running into an issue. When I run the debug, all the breakpoints turn grey and when I hover over them they show Locations: 0 (Picture of the problem here).The tests then execute without hitting any of the breakpoints. Visual Studio Code. Lay the foundation of knowledge you need to build fast and effective programs in Rust. In this learning path, you'll: Install the tools you need to write your first lines of Rust code. Learn basic concepts in Rust. Learn how to handle errors.
If you're just getting started withRust and would like a more detailed walk-through, see ourgetting started page.
Windows considerations
On Windows, Rust additionally requires the C++ build tools for Visual Studio 2013 or later. The easiest way to acquire the build tools is by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2019 which provides just the Visual C++ build tools. Alternately, you can install Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2015, or Visual Studio 2013 and during install select the “C++ tools.”
For further information about configuring Rust on Windows see the Windows-specific rustup documentation.
Toolchain management with rustup
Rust is installed and managed by the rustup tool. Rust has a 6-week rapid release process and supports a great number of platforms, so there are many builds of Rust available at any time. rustup manages these builds in a consistent way on every platform that Rust supports, enabling installation of Rust from the beta and nightly release channels as well as support for additional cross-compilation targets.
If you've installed rustup in the past, you can update your installation by running rustup update.
For more information see the rustup documentation.
Configuring the PATH environmentvariable
In the Rust development environment, all tools are installed to the ~/.cargo/bin%USERPROFILE%.cargobin directory, and this is where you will find the Rust toolchain, including rustc, cargo, and rustup.
Accordingly, it is customary for Rust developers to include this directory in their PATH environment variable. During installation rustup will attempt to configure the PATH. Because of differences between platforms, command shells, and bugs in rustup, the modifications to PATH may not take effect until the console is restarted, or the user is logged out, or it may not succeed at all.
Visual Studio Rust Debugger
If, after installation, running rustc --version in the console fails, this is the most likely reason.
Uninstall Rust
Visual Studio Rust Plugin
If at any point you would like to uninstall Rust, you can run rustup self uninstall. We'll miss you though!
