Vscode-rust: cargo not found with vscode-remote

[onsails]

I am using vscode-remote to build project on remote Debian server.
Rustup is installed, PATH contains ~/.cargo/bin and cargo build runs without problems in vscode terminal. But then I run build task from vscode I see the following error:

/bin/bash: cargo: command not found

I have "rust-client.rustupPath": "/home/my_user/.cargo/bin/rustup" setting in machine's settings.json (without it vscode tries to run vscode fails to find rustup using /bin/sh despite that /bin/bash is default for my user). I am using vscode 1.38.1.

Also have the same problem trying to use vs-code remote to run rls remotely on my ubuntu machine. Would be super super cool to get this resolved.

@prettynatty I just managed to fix the issue. Firstly update to 1.38.2. Secondly: create a workspace and import your folders. For some reason the moment I created a workspace RLS kicked into gear and no longer failed to start.

All my settings are completely default and with the correct path setup for my shell it seemed to work without the need for an explicit rustupPath.

Interested to know if that fixes it for you.

@jdeepee Latest update fixed the problem, thanks!

I'm still experiencing this issue with Rust 1.40 and the RLS extension 0.70 on Mac OSX.

Same here, please reopen?
