Links in error messages that aren’t formatted as markown links are not clickable

[TheBlckbird]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes (I’m using rust-analyzer as an example but this is generally a problem with VSCode. See the rust-lang/rust-clippy#12229)

• VS Code Version: 1.87.0-insider
  • Commit: 019f4d1
• OS Version: macOS 14.3.1 (23D60)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install rust-analyzer
2. go to setttings and change Cargo Check Command to clippy
3. create a new cargo project by using cargo new bug-report
4. Add the following code to the main function and hover over the warning:

let mut a = 5;
let b = 3;

a = a + b;

5. try to click on the link

Thanks you for filing this issue,

Unfortunately I'm unable to replicate this issue in the latest version of VS Code Insiders.

Please can you install the latest VS Code Insiders, disable all extensions except for rust-analyzer test again.
If this issue still persists, please ping here and we'll be happy to reopen this issue, or feel free to create a new one.

If you are able to repro this, please share a screen recording of the issue, you can try gigcap.dev or similar to capture screen recording.

@DonJayamanne
I’m not talking about normal compiler diagnostics. Clippy (a linter for Rust) always includes a link in its error message for more details. (e.g. https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#assign_op_pattern) But it doesn’t format it as a Markdown link for reasons described in the mentioned issue. Without being able to click on it directly you have to first select it, then copy and paste it into your browser. This could be dramatically simplified.

My settings.json:

{
    "rust-analyzer.check.command": "clippy",
}

main.rs in a clean Cargo project:

fn main() {
    let mut a = 5;
    let b = 3;

    a = a + b;
}

How is it rendered when you press f8?

[TheBlckbird]

@sandy081 I‘ll answer you in a few hours, I’m currently not at home

[TheBlckbird]

@sandy081 Nothing changes

[sandy081]

What do you mean by nothing changes? Does it open a inline peek view on pressing F8? Or you are pressing f8 when hover is open?

@sandy081 The link is not clickable
