why do quick fixes import super and not crate?

[evbo]

back in the day missing import would suggest importing from crate, now it suggests super. How can I make it prefer crate?

[lnicola]

"rust-analyzer.imports.prefix": "crate"

[evbo]

@lnicola thank you, this should be the default though, am I right? Other than unit tests super imports are wicked unpopular.

[lnicola]

I don't have a strong opinion. rust-analyzer itself prefers crate, but I remember noticing a while back that it didn't seem to match what the other projects were using at the time. And you're probably the first to complain about this.

[evbo]

Okay let me try another angle: isn't it more consistent to follow rust-analyzer defaults (preferring crate)? Isn't that the expected behavior?

[Veykril]

The expected behavior is highlight subjective, the default setting for this is currently plain which allows up to one super being emitted (if super::super is required it will instead pick a crate:: path). The default should be what the majority expects but thats difficult to figure out. I do agree though that we should probably just put this to crate as it is the least messy of the three.
