[matklad.rust-analyzer] Cannot activate rust-analyzer: Object.fromEntries is not a function

I'm also receiving an error relating to this:

Cannot activate rust-analyzer: Object.fromEntries is not a function

(occurs when attempting to install for the current project)

Cannot activate rust-analyzer: Command "rust-analyzer.onEnter" already has handler

(occurs when attempting to install for the user)

Maybe this is possibly caused by gitlab's included plugins' configuration? I'm slightly familar with Javascript, so I'll try to scope out the issue for now.

Ah, I think this problem occurs because Gitpod's IDE (Theia) is still running Node.js v10.

I think Theia upstream has been upgraded to Node.js v12 LTS, and Gitpod will soon upgrade to the latest Theia version, which should resolve this problem. (Note: Gitpod Self-Hosted should already no longer have this bug.)

Gitpod is not using Theia anymore, and the default Node version is 16 as of today. Should be good to go, but the extension won't work because of #527.
