[the-ssd]

Summary

lsp for rust doesn't work
this also happens when you run 'rust-analyzer' but not when running 'rls'
error when running rust-analyzer

error: unknown proxy name: 'rust-analyzer'; valid proxy names are 'rustc', 'rustdoc', 'cargo', 'rust-lldb', 'rust-gdb', 'rust-gdbgui', 'rls', 'cargo-clippy', 'clippy-driver', 'cargo-miri', 'rustfmt', 'cargo-fmt'

error is similar to the error in the log

Try this, get rid of any old versions of rust analyzer that might be hanging around first:

#!/bin/bash

bin_install_folder=/usr/local/bin # wherever you usually store your binary files, must be able to run from the terminal and be in the $PATH
rustup component add rust-analyzer
sudo ln -s "$(rustup which rust-analyzer)" $bin_install_folder/rust-analyzer

Rustup is going to fix this problem in the next release:
