+[[rust-analyzer.workspace.discoverConfig]]rust-analyzer.workspace.discoverConfig (default: `null`)::
++
+--
+Enables automatic discovery of projects using [`DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command`].
+
+[`DiscoverWorkspaceConfig`] also requires setting `progress_label` and `files_to_watch`.
+`progress_label` is used for the title in progress indicators, whereas `files_to_watch`
+is used to determine which build system-specific files should be watched in order to
+reload rust-analyzer.
+
+Below is an example of a valid configuration:
+```json
+"rust-analyzer.workspace.discoverConfig": {
+ "command": [
+ "rust-project",
+ "develop-json",
+ {arg}
+ ],
+ "progressLabel": "rust-analyzer",
+ "filesToWatch": [
+ "BUCK",
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+## On `DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command`
+
+**Warning**: This format is provisional and subject to change.
+
+[`DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command`] *must* return a JSON object
+corresponding to `DiscoverProjectData::Finished`:
+
+```norun
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize, Serialize)]
+#[serde(tag = "kind")]
+#[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")]
+enum DiscoverProjectData {
+ Finished { buildfile: Utf8PathBuf, project: ProjectJsonData },
+ Error { error: String, source: Option<String> },
+ Progress { message: String },
+}
+```
+
+As JSON, `DiscoverProjectData::Finished` is:
+
+```json
+{
+ // the internally-tagged representation of the enum.
+ "kind": "finished",
+ // the file used by a non-Cargo build system to define
+ // a package or target.
+ "buildfile": "rust-analyzer/BUILD",
+ // the contents of a rust-project.json, elided for brevity
+ "project": {
+ "sysroot": "foo",
+ "crates": []
+ }
+}
+```
+
+It is encouraged, but not required, to use the other variants on
+`DiscoverProjectData` to provide a more polished end-user experience.
+
+`DiscoverWorkspaceConfig::command` may *optionally* include an `{arg}`,
+which will be substituted with the JSON-serialized form of the following
+enum:
+
+```norun
+#[derive(PartialEq, Clone, Debug, Serialize)]
+#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
+pub enum DiscoverArgument {
+ Path(AbsPathBuf),
+ Buildfile(AbsPathBuf),
+}
+```
+
+The JSON representation of `DiscoverArgument::Path` is:
+
+```json
+{
+ "path": "src/main.rs"
+}
+```
+
+Similarly, the JSON representation of `DiscoverArgument::Buildfile` is:
+
+```
+{
+ "buildfile": "BUILD"
+}
+```
+
+`DiscoverArgument::Path` is used to find and generate a `rust-project.json`,
+and therefore, a workspace, whereas `DiscoverArgument::buildfile` is used to
+to update an existing workspace. As a reference for implementors,
+buck2's `rust-project` will likely be useful:
