Debugging with IntelliJ Rust Plugin

[jcsho]

Hello all,

Firstly, really appreciate all the work being done here and love the BDD style of testing.

Just a question regarding debugging on IntelliJ platforms using their Rust plugin if anyone has experienced it.

When running a debug session, the plugin seems to inject the arguments --format=json -Z unstable-options --show-output and results in failure message below:

# Clion debug console
~/ray-tracer/target/debug/deps/canvas-4ae8ce55a3139d21 --format=json -vv -Z unstable-options --show-output
error: Found argument '--format' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

	If you tried to supply `--format` as a value rather than a flag, use `-- --format`

USAGE:
    canvas-4ae8ce55a3139d21 [OPTIONS]

For more information try --help

Process finished with exit code 2

I'm unable to remove them even if I pass in extra args like -vv in the run configuration

Currently I am working around it by using rust-lldb for debugging but would like to know if anyone's has a working setup?

@jcsho we are aware of this issue #194 and current solution is to implement custom CLI which will ignore options automatically passed by CLion. See #194 (comment) and book chapter on CLI for more info.
