Crashing on a disabled feature

[JosuGZ]

Rust analyzer is crashing with the following mensage from the openssl-src crate:

This perl implementation doesn't produce Windows like paths (with backward
slash directory separators).  Please use an implementation that matches your
building platform.

I'm getting the same problem when I try to build my project with the "ssl" feature, which enables the ssl features of the dependencies. But without that feature, the code builds fine (with no ssl support). So cargo build works with no problem.

Rust Analyzer aparently tries to build the openssl crate anyway.

Features of my project:

[features]
default = []
gpio = []
ssl = ["paho-mqtt/vendored-ssl"]

rust-analyzer version: rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1178-standalone (a670ff8 2022-08-21)

rustc version: rustc 1.62.1 (e092d0b6b 2022-07-16)

relevant settings: Nothing relevant, I'm not enabling "all features".

It seems that if you are using the MinGW target, you have to compile from a MinGW shell for openssl to build. This is an issue in openssl.

That is why I have an ssl feature which is disabled by default. Cargo build and run work, but RA crashes. I only enable the feature when building from Linux.

It turns out that I had this on my workspace:

Apparently the variable has been renamed so it wasn't showing up as modified by the settings UI, but RA was still loading it.

I'm not sure whether this could be considered a bug.

We need to load the old names still for backwards compatability reasons with other clients unfortunately, so there is not much we can do about that

I'm closing this then, thanks!
