### Updating `rust-analyzer`
Here's a rundown of the typical actions to perform to do a rust-analyzer (and other dependencies) update. A one-time setup consists in
installing [`cargo-edit`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-edit) with `cargo install cargo-edit`. On Ubuntu that also requires
`sudo apt install libssl-dev pkg-config`.
1. from the root of the `codeql` repo checkout, run an upgrade, and commit the changes (skipping `pre-commit` hooks if you have them enabled):
```
cargo upgrade --incompatible --pinned
```
2. Look at a diff of the `Cargo.toml` files: if all `ra_ap_` prefixed dependencies have been updated to the same number, go on to the next step.
Otherwise, it means the latest `rust-analyzer` update has not been fully rolled out to all its crates in `crates.io`.
_All `ra_ap_` versions must agree!_
Downgrade by hand to the minimum one you see, and run a `cargo update` after that to fix the `Cargo.lock` file.
3. Commit the changes, skipping `pre-commit` hooks if you have them enabled:
```
git commit -am 'Cargo: upgrade dependencies' --no-verify
```
4. Regenerate vendored bazel files, commit the changes:
```
misc/bazel/3rdparty/update_tree_sitter_extractors_deps.sh
git add .
git commit -am 'Bazel: regenerate vendored cargo dependencies' --no-verify
```
5. Run codegen
```
bazel run //rust/codegen
```
Take note whether `rust/schema/ast.py` was changed. That might need tweaks, new tests and/or downgrade/upgrade scripts down the line
6. Try compiling
```
bazel run //rust:install
```
* if it succeeds: good! You can move on to the next step.
* if it fails while compiling rust-analyzer dependencies, you need to update the rust toolchain. Sometimes the error will tell you
so explcitly, but it may happen that the error is more obscure. To update the rust toolchain:
* you will need to open a PR on the internal repo updating `RUST_VERSION` in `MODULE.bazel`. In general you can have this merged
independently of the changes in `codeql`.
* in `codeql`, update both `RUST_VERSION` in `MODULE.bazel` _and_ `rust-toolchain.toml` files. You may want to also update the
nightly toolchain in `rust/extractor/src/nightly-toolchain/rust-toolchain.toml` to a more recent date while you're at it.
* if it fails while compiling rust extractor code, you will need to adapt it to the new library version.
If you had to do any changes, commit them. If you updated the rust toolchain, running `rust/lint.py` might reformat or apply new
lints to the code.
7. If in step 5 the schema was updated, add upgrade/downgrade scripts and a change note
8. Check with CI if everything is in order.
9. Run DCA. Iterate on the code if needed.
