Rust plugin available

[BirgitPohl]

I was wondering, since there is no native support for Rust, if the community can recommend a good Rust-plugin for LGTM.

[intrigus-lgtm]

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a Rust-plugin for LGTM or plugins for LGTM in general.
Can you clarify what you are interested in? Do you need a static analysis tool for Rust?

[BirgitPohl]

Exactly. LGTM covers almost all languages we are using, except for the one, we are using the most. Which is Rust.
And I'm currently looking for one code analysis that preferably rules them all to keep the learning curve low.

Rust is not on the roadmap: GitHub Public Roadmap (view).

You might want to try GitHub Code Scanning . Code Scanning offers an integrated user experience for many static analysis tools, including CodeQL, the analysis engine underlying LGTM. Using Code Scanning you can run the best tools for each language and view the results in a unified place.

I feel like, this is currently the best thing to do. Thanks!

there is no codeql rust plugin for lgtm because rust is not implemented yet for codeql... see https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-overview/supported-languages-and-frameworks/

[flipchan]

Is there a feature request to support Rust for codeql? If not, one should be started!

[izzeem]

So there is this #10489

Not sure if anyone has worked on this or is interested in trying

[coadaflorin]

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that we shipped support for Rust in CodeQL to public preview. Give it a go and let us know how things went for you!

[flipchan]

Awesome!!

[boozook]

Thanks! Already integrated, will see...

Note, there is to ways how to enable this:

• simple button in the preferences near by Dependabot
• via job in a workflow yaml

Question:
Does it work with nightly toolchain?
