What part are you struggling with?
The ripgrep (rg) part, or the cargo expand part?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know what both of those are and how to use them. But they are entirely relevant to the thread. Did you comment in the wrong place?

Not sure how what I write is this confusing to you.

  • Tests don't necessarily live in paths containing test.
  • Code in paths containing test is not necessarily all tests.
  • cargo expand gives you options for correctly and coherently expanding Rust code, and doesn't expand tests by default.
  • rg was half a joke since it's Rust's grep. You can just pipe cargo expand [OPTIONS] [ITEM] output to vim '+set ft=rust' - or bat --filename t.rs and search from there.

You're not smart. You're not special. Nobody is giving you a medal because you know a workaround to a developer not implementing a feature request after five years, especially when said feature IS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED in a different language in the same IDE.

So again, what does your response have to do with how an IDE works? Nothing. It has nothing to do with it, you're posting purely to jerk yourself off.

My post was a showcase of why there is no substitute for knowing your tools properly, and how when you know them properly, you will never have to wait for 5 minutes, let alone 5 years, for anything, because you never used or needed to use an IDE anyway.

This applies universally. No minimum smartness or specialness scores required.

This type of reductive horseshit has no place anywhere.

"I have a criticism of this piece of software because it does not have this functionality."

"WELL JUST USE A DIFFERENT TOOL!"

Yeah, no shit. This isn't about using a different tool now is it?

You reek of basement-ass teenager that's never actually had to use shit for a living. If you're somehow actually a grown adult I pity your coworkers, who are all likely sick of your garbage-tier attitude.

Ok cool but how does that help when I'm searching a non-Rust project via the GitHub web search interface? I don't know why I'd want to search cargo expand output anyway. Using that just to avoid searching tests is a super ugly hack.

Fair.
But you are writing a comment under a topic regarding a Rust-flavored IDE, posted to a Rust community. With neither the IDE nor Rust involved, your quoted problem statement is 100% off-topic.
