if the server is started as a systemd service then it can't find rust-analyzer

You would get an error message like the above in systemctl status ra-multiplex

This is solved by pass_environment = ["PATH"] in the ra-multiplex config

"Sometimes?" Does this really not happen every time? I'd expect this to be a difference between your systemd-user PATH and the path of your editor, probably your rust-analyzer is installed in ~/.rustup/... or ~/.cargo/bin and you only add that to your PATH in the shell initialization script, which doesn't get included in systemd-user environment.

It worked fine for months and then last week I started having the problem of it not finding rust-analyzer.

Hmm, and the only thing that change was a new version of ra-multiplex? The way we use tokio::process::Command::envs should not change the environment if pass_environment is empty (the default).

I've added more context to the error message from the description here 247736b, that should help you figure out what's wrong with the PATH in the systemd service.

I had the same problem and the pass_environment value of pass_environment = ["PATH", "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] (similar to the one described in from #83) seems to have solved it.

The whole setup process I used is described here: https://gist.github.com/sasa-tomic/a53302b9935c2c13717f60cd86369579
