Question

VS code Rust analyzer extension. Failed to discover rustc source for sysroot

full error:

Failed loading rustc_private crates for workspace 'path to Cargo.toml in workspace': 
Failed to discover rustc source for sysroot.

This error occurs in all projects even newly initialized.

rustc --print sysroot prints path

I tried to setting path manually in system variables(I'm on Win11), didn't help. Then I reinstalled all rust dependecies, restatred VS code, didn't help, resterted PC, didn't help. Again, after reinstallation via commands everything is fine: rustc and rust-src exists, rustc --print sysroot prints path. Only extension is complaining.

After I set the environment variables correctly as @Chayim Friedman said in the commments:

RA_LOG_FILE='C:\435fhdjkh84.txt' and RA_LOG='project_model=debug' (Single Quotation Marks in both variables are only for better readabilty). And created 435fhdjkh84.txt file in the path, I relaunched VS code.

And here are the contents that were written into the file specified:

You likely have, for some reason, the setting "rust-analyzer.rustc.source": "discover". Remove it and the error will disappear. This setting is intended for rustc developers, you should not have it set unless you are working on rustc.

The error is not fatal, though; you can continue working on your projects even with it.

If you are working on rustc, you need to install the rustc-dev rustup component or set that setting to point to the path where your rustc source code is located.
