what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

See a concrete reproduction of the rust-analyzer dual-target analysis problem in a real full-stack app.

VIBE 2

Understand why shared crates compiled differently for WebAssembly and server targets confuse code editors.

VIBE 3

Use it as a reference case when discussing or contributing a fix to rust-analyzer's workspace analysis.

VIBE 4

Learn how a Rust project splits a shared entity crate between browser and server-optimized data structures.

how do i run it?

Difficulty · moderate time til it works · 30min

Requires compiling the frontend for WebAssembly and the backend for the server separately since rust-analyzer can't check both at once.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1

Clone dilemma and show me exactly which files cause rust-analyzer to show false errors on the frontend versus backend.

prompt 2

Explain why the entity crate in dilemma exports different types for WebAssembly versus the server target.

prompt 3

What would it take for rust-analyzer to analyze dilemma's frontend and backend against their correct targets simultaneously?

prompt 4

Help me set up separate compile commands for dilemma's frontend and backend so I avoid the editor error confusion.
