No to_string method in suggestions to &str

[Yanpas]

I'm using VS Code and nurcery plugin. If I type "hello".to_ and hit Ctrl+Space I won't see to_string method.

I was talking about code completion, I don't think it should be limited at all.

Apologies for the previous comment not providing enough context to be clear; my understanding is that the RLS code-completion suggestions come from suggestions in the compiler, which currently does not know how to suggest .to_string. Work-in-progress that could fix this is rust-lang/rust#46461.

Code completion is currently powered by Racer which is a syntactic tool and therefore only has incomplete knowledge. This kind of omission is expected. Long term, we plan to use the compiler to provide this information, but that is blocked on a number of hard problems around performance, etc.

Any update? In 2019, still does not appear "DEMO".to_string() as code completion.
