rust analyzer is not working with examples folder

[LastLightSith]

I cloned the Winit repository and opened it in VS Code with Rust Analyzer. Rust Analyzer works correctly in most files, except for those inside the examples folder. I tried adding "rust-analyzer.check.extraArgs": ["--bins", "--examples"] to .vscode/settings.json here and restarting Rust Analyzer, but it’s still not working. Any idea why this might be?

Are you on Linux? I was having the same issue and opened issue #4346. Try checking out v0.30.12:

$ git checkout v0.30.12

If you're using Windows, you might need to allow symlinks

I just noticed that I also can't go to definitions on Linux either. If I open the examples through winit/winit/examples/ instead of through winit/examples then it works fine. Maybe the structure of the project can be changed so the examples do not use symlinks?
