Racer works from cli but not in atom

[leshow]

using rustup
installed racer with cargo install racer
apm install language-rust linter-rust racer

I added my rust src path and the path to cargo in the racer settings.
path to racer executable: /home/leshow/.cargo/bin/racer
path to rust source code directory: /home/leshow/Development/rust/rust/src/

when I start to type
use std::io::B nothing happens, a hidden file seems to flash in the file tree to the left but I get no completions. If i mess up the rust src path then I get error outputs, but with everything configured correctly I get nothing.

however it works from the cli

> racer complete std::io::B

MATCH BufWriter,300,11,/home/leshow/Development/rust/rust/src/libstd/io/buffered.rs,Struct,pub struct BufWriter<W: Write>

@macshaggy What is your “Path to to the Racer executable” in Settings→Packages→racer? If you installed it with rustup, it should be equal to /Users/<your username>/.cargo/bin/racer.

[fasiha]

@leshow what OS? I’m on macOS and have the same situation. Only difference is my path to Rust source is /Users/<username>/.multirust/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/rustlib/src/rust/src which I installed via rustup component add rust-src. I’m on macOS. No completions ever appear for std::s, even though racer prints lots in the command-line and I get no other errors in Atom.

Having the same issue
~/.cargo/bin/racer will use racer just fine, but it won't work as the "Path to the Racer executable" setting

@abradley2 I had issues with this today but maybe my fix also solves your problem? #61 (comment)
