How can I rename a symbol across files (leveraging the LSP)?

[x10an14]

Apologies in advance if there's some documentation that already answers this I haven't picked up.
If that's the case, please re-direct me there.

All I have managed is;

1. Check helix health:

   $ hx --health rust
   Configured language server: rust-analyzer
   Binary for language server: /nix/store/w3amgah9z90g4v5zvl037q9sq3l1igic-rust-analyzer-2022-10-10/bin/rust-analyzer
   Configured debug adapter: lldb-vscode
   Binary for debug adapter: /nix/store/ymjgfi7ml1n3gay2i8228w0sh3jr5424-lldb-14.0.6/bin/lldb-vscode
   Highlight queries: ✓
   Textobject queries: ✓
   Indent queries:  ✓
   

2. Open project with hx . for LSP purposes
3. Navigate to the item/symbol in question (function in my case)
4. Press SPACE+r (default) key-combo and re-name function
5. Watch cargo build fail for all files invoking this function, where it didn't get re-named

What am I doing wrong? =)

The LSP hopefully did rename the functions over all the files, BUT it did not save those files for you.

If you press space D (open workspace diagnostic picker) or maybe G on the old version of Helix, it will probably show you all the errors in the files that have not been saved. You can go to each file using the picker and save them, Rust Analyzer needs the file to be saved to make the error go away.

Does that fix it? Happy Halloween :)

Or simply use :write-all to save all the files (helix opens files where a rename has been done).
